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: 158 m away, ≈54 spaces; 289 m away, ≈10 spaces; 316 m away, ≈21 spaces; 417 m away, ≈4 spaces; 430 m away, ≈15 spaces; 454 m away, ≈261 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 — 14-hour, Sep 30, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 799 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 516. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 209 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 202 from 3:00 p.m. 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 Waldock St between Eastview Park Trl and Poplar Rd (54 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. Poplar Rd between Gardentree St and Waldock St measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Apr 2024). The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Waldock St (192 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 12,122 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

| Waldock St · Eastview Park Trl – Poplar Rd · 54 m | Oct 2009 · 24 h | 1,186 | 41 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 km/h |

Waldock St (westbound), Opp 33 Waldock St · 12,122 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.

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 six thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 83% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
By year

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 21, 2025. 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.
