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.

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, Apr 12, 2025 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,705 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 4,204 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,698 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,639 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 17 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 The Queensway between Windermere Ave and Southport St, 47 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2015 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Queensway · Windermere Ave – Southport St · 47 m | Mar 2015 · 24 h | 22,277 | 49 km/h | 59 km/h | 65 km/h |
| Windermere Pl · Windermere Ave – Southport St · 154 m | Sep 2011 · 24 h | 2,689 | — | — | — |
| Windermere Ave · Lake Shore Blvd W – The Queensway · 230 m | Dec 2011 · 3 days | 11,278 | — | — | — |
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

Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 23, 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
Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Aug 3, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.
By year

| Involving a motorcyclist | 1 | |

| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Aug 3, 2019 |
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 May 1, 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.
