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 — 14-hour, May 7, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 805 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 259 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 246 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:00 p.m., against 164 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months 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
On Lynn Williams St between Western Battery Rd and East Liberty St, 51 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2022 put the average speed at 26 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 34 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. Western Battery Rd between Pirandello St and King-Liberty Pedestrian Cycle Bridge measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 30 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lynn Williams St · Western Battery Rd – East Liberty St · 51 m | Apr 2022 · 3 days | 2,224 | 26 km/h | 34 km/h | 39 km/h |
| Western Battery Rd · Pirandello St – King-Liberty Pedestrian Cycle Bridge · 123 m | Mar 2026 · 3 days | 879 | 23 km/h | 30 km/h | 35 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
The worst year was 2023, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 6 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 8, 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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
