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

Nearest lots: 58 m away, ≈33 spaces; 124 m away, ≈496 spaces; 128 m away, ≈361 spaces; 175 m away, ≈200 spaces; 202 m away, ≈547 spaces; 205 m away, ≈56 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, Mar 24, 2024 (a weekend day)
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 2,917 and 3,462 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 1,383 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 771 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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
On Esther Shiner Blvd between Provost Dr and Old Leslie St, 128 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in August 2017 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Esther Shiner Blvd · Provost Dr – Old Leslie St · 128 m | Aug 2017 · 24 h | 11,593 | 52 km/h | 63 km/h | 69 km/h |
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 2023, with 54 collisions; 2025 recorded 39. 14 collisions (4%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 129 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 25 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 30, 2026.

Exposure-adjusted: 31.6 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

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
44 thefts from vehicles and 28 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 12× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on May 10, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 10, 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 Bayview Village.
