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 15, 2023
The west leg carries the load — 2,470 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 82. Most cyclists arrived from the east (84 of 184). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 846 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (764). Trucks and buses were 7.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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 MacDonell Ave between Lane N of Queen and W of Lansdowne and Seaforth Ave (147 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Jameson Ave (130 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 13,810 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Queen St W · Lansdowne Ave – Jameson Ave · 77 m | Nov 2019 · 4 days | 8,709 | — | — | — |

School-zone speed sign 130 m
Jameson Ave (southbound), 190 Jameson Ave · 13,810 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
2018 was the peak year (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Feb 18, 2016.
By year

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 five thefts from vehicles and nine bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.4 a year. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
