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 — 14-hour, Mar 25, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 30,042 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 2,620 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 5,648 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 5,482 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Florence Ave between Lane W of Yonge and S of Johnston and Botham Rd, 178 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2025 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,700 vehicles a day. Avondale Ave between Yonge St and Lane E of Yonge and S of Glendora measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Apr 2024).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avondale Ave · Yonge St – Lane E of Yonge and S of Glendora · 28 m | Apr 2024 · 3 days | 12,297 | 27 km/h | 37 km/h | 42 km/h |
| Yonge St · Johnston Ave – Poyntz Ave · 144 m | Jan 2013 · 24 h | 185 | 21 km/h | 29 km/h | 35 km/h |
| Florence Ave · Lane W of Yonge and S of Johnston – Botham Rd · 178 m | Oct 2025 · 3 days | 4,669 | 38 km/h | 45 km/h | 50 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 2016, with 47 collisions; 2025 recorded 25. 31 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 33 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 7, 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
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian, 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Feb 6, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.
By year

| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #866 of 879 |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 1 | |
| In darkness | 1 | 33% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest Feb 6, 2023 |
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
Five thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jan 28, 2025. 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.
