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: 80 m away, ≈97 spaces; 96 m away, ≈202 spaces; 124 m away, ≈129 spaces; 124 m away, ≈38 spaces; 129 m away, ≈696 spaces; 130 m away, ≈142 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, Nov 22, 2023
The east leg carries the load — 8,517 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 638. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,446 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,581 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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
The City's counter on Finch Ave W between Red Robinway and Virgilwood Dr (349 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 24-hour count in August 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 26,600 vehicles a day. Torresdale Ave between Finch Ave W and Robert Hicks Dr measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Aug 2022). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Torresdale Ave · Finch Ave W – Robert Hicks Dr · 126 m | Aug 2022 · 3 days | 2,628 | 38 km/h | 45 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Finch Ave W · Red Robinway – Virgilwood Dr · 349 m | Aug 2017 · 24 h | 26,627 | 53 km/h | 63 km/h | 68 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
2022 was the peak year (23 collisions), and 2025 closed with 22. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 34 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, in line with 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 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 13, 2023.
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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 18, 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.
