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, Feb 13, 2008
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,270 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 95 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,171 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,240 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 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
On Willowdale Ave between Newton Dr and Madawaska Ave, 47 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2020 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Lillian St (269 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.7% of the 4,973 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Willowdale Ave · Newton Dr – Madawaska Ave · 47 m | Feb 2020 · 3 days | 11,914 | 42 km/h | 57 km/h | 63 km/h |

School-zone speed sign 269 m
Lillian St (northbound), Opp 1046, Lillian Street · 4,973 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.

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. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 19, 2018.

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.
