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
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 709 Millwood Rd · Garage | 1.8 km | 20 | 78% (Q1 2026) |
| 1503 Bayview Avw · Surface | 1.8 km | 24 | 65% (Q1 2026) |
Nearest lots: 47 m away, ≈5 spaces; 81 m away, ≈4 spaces; 97 m away, ≈139 spaces; 106 m away, ≈46 spaces; 115 m away, ≈440 spaces; 115 m away, ≈175 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, Mar 25, 2023 (a weekend day)
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,586 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 280 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,765 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,005 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 most recent midblock count on Overlea Blvd between Millwood Rd and Leaside Park Dr (88 m away, Nov 2012) recorded volume only — about 23,006 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overlea Blvd · Millwood Rd – Leaside Park Dr · 88 m | Nov 2012 · 3 days | 23,006 | — | — | — |
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
The worst year was 2024, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 9 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 20, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
Four thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 4 | 1 | 0 | street/outdoor (2), commercial premises (1) |
| Bicycle theft | 3 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (3) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 7, 2023. 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 Thorncliffe Park.
