Every establishment Toronto Public Health inspects under DineSafe, screened by name to leave out kitchens inside schools, care homes and offices. A conditional pass means infractions had to be fixed by a follow-up visit, not that the premises is closed.

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

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 16, 2008
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 11,732 westbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 348. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,430 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,902). Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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 Lawrence Ave E between Wayne Ave and Lilian Dr (74 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2008; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 23,000 vehicles a day. Wayne Ave between Danube Dr and Electro Rd measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · Wayne Ave – Lilian Dr · 74 m | Nov 2008 · 24 h | 22,953 | 53 km/h | 63 km/h | 68 km/h |
| Wayne Ave · Danube Dr – Electro Rd · 190 m | Oct 2025 · 3 days | 1,726 | 38 km/h | 47 km/h | 52 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
2024 was the peak year (20 collisions), and 2025 closed with 15. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jun 12, 2026.

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 darkness. The most recent was on Sep 4, 2024.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

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 four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jan 21, 2022. 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 Wexford/Maryvale.
