The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 70 m away, ≈24 spaces; 109 m away, ≈101 spaces; 128 m away, ≈44 spaces; 154 m away, ≈124 spaces; 166 m away, ≈341 spaces; 186 m away, ≈73 spaces.
Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 18, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,154 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 438. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,118 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 41% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (791). Trucks and buses were 6.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
The City's counter on Morningside Ave between Ling Rd and Lawrence Ave E (102 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Morningside Ave (112 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 124,446 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morningside Ave · Ling Rd – Lawrence Ave E · 102 m | Mar 2019 · 3 days | 12,750 | 49 km/h | 59 km/h | 64 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 112 m
Morningside Ave (northbound), 206 Morningside Avenue · 124,446 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2019 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 37% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place 40 thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 7.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 16 in 2023–2025, about 5.3 a year, against 3.9 a year before that. 68% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 26, 2026.

| Theft from a vehicle | 40 | 15 | 2 | street/outdoor (27), apartment parking (11) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 26, 2026. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see West Hill.
