Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Five registered apartment buildings with 630 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 23.

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
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 Barkwin Dr · Surface | 1 km | 23 | 20% (Q1 2026) |
Nearest lots: 331 m away, ≈37 spaces; 415 m away, ≈34 spaces; 493 m away, ≈82 spaces; 519 m away, ≈66 spaces; 703 m away, ≈4 spaces; 704 m away, ≈4 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, Oct 7, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 159 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 42. Morning rush is the busier period: 41 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 36 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 15.6% 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 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 Thistle Down Blvd between Judhaven Rd and Bridgenorth Cres (319 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thistle Down Blvd · Judhaven Rd – Bridgenorth Cres · 319 m | Nov 2023 · 3 days | 1,230 | 38 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 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.

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.
