Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there is one RentSafeTO-registered apartment building — 332 rental units. The nearest is 125 Bamburgh Crcl (1.0 km, 332 units, 20 storeys, built 1978), which scored 90 out of 100 at its October 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 125 Bamburgh Crcl · Sterling Karamar Property Management | 332 | 20 | 1978 | 90 · Oct 2024 | 0 | 1 km |
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
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 308 m away, ≈46 spaces; 509 m away, ≈2 spaces; 565 m away, ≈2 spaces; 596 m away, ≈13 spaces; 613 m away, ≈83 spaces; 623 m away, ≈2 spaces.
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, Oct 19, 2024 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,925 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 1,027 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,325 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 982 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% 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 23 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 Birchmount Rd between Walkway S of Wintermute and W of Birchmount and Wintermute Blvd, 53 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2020 put the average speed at 63 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 71 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 77 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,100 vehicles a day. Wintermute Blvd between Walkway S of Wintermute and E of Belinda and Triangle Villas Dr measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Sep 2024). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wintermute Blvd (193 m away, 30 km/h limit), 9.7% of the 55,108 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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 2017, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 11 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 8, 2010.
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
Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 10, 2015. 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 Steeles.
