Apartment buildings nearby

Within a kilometre there are 14 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,123 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing.

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, Dec 10, 2022 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,573 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 2,697 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,959 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,254 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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
On Lawrence Ave W between Roxaline St and The Westway, 128 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 62 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Saskatoon Dr (329 m away, 30 km/h limit), 12% of the 20,933 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Saskatoon Dr (westbound), 20 Saskatoon Drive · 20,933 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 19, 2013.
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.
