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.

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, Feb 7, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 724 southbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 526. Most cyclists arrived from the north (71 of 144). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 327 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (299). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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 Niagara St between Stanley Ave and Adelaide St W (116 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 14-day count in September 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 3,400 vehicles a day. Mitchell Ave between Lane W of Tecumseth and N of Mitchell and Niagara St measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 30 km/h (Nov 2023). 4 speed humps slow traffic on Mitchell Avenue between Tecumseth St and Niagara St.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mitchell Ave · Lane W of Tecumseth and N of Mitchell – Niagara St · 113 m | Nov 2023 · 3 days | 1,223 | 23 km/h | 30 km/h | 34 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Mitchell Avenue · Tecumseth St – Niagara St
4 speed humps
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.

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 four thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.0 a year. 83% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Aug 20, 2024.
