Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
76 registered apartment buildings with 5,022 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection.

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 — 14-hour, Sep 30, 2025
The south leg carries the load — 5,841 northbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,639. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,804 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (1,466). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Pape Ave between Canning Ave and Browning Ave (325 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 14,400 vehicles a day. Mortimer Ave between Carlaw Ave and Lane W of East York and S of Mortimer measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Dec 2025). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Gowan Ave (375 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.7% of the 30,134 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

| Mortimer Ave · Carlaw Ave – Lane W of East York and S of Mortimer · 148 m | Dec 2025 · 3 days | 12,252 | 28 km/h | 39 km/h | 44 km/h |
| Pape Ave · Canning Ave – Browning Ave · 325 m | Aug 2017 · 3 days | 14,368 | 45 km/h | 53 km/h | 58 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 375 m
Gowan Ave (westbound), Burncrest Road · 30,134 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

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The last one inside the window was in 2025. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Jun 9, 2026.
By year

| Since January 2026 (outside the window) | 1 | 1 pedestrian · latest Jun 9, 2026 |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Jun 9, 2026 |
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.
