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, Oct 28, 2025
The west leg carries the load — 11,488 eastbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3,172. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,082 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. (2,352). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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
The City's counter on Brian Dr between Sheppard Ave E and Patrick Blvd (61 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 7,600 vehicles a day. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Brian Drive between Sheppard Ave E and Old Sheppard Ave (installed 2025).

6 speed humpsinstalled 2025
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
2019 was the peak year (45 collisions), and 2025 closed with 23. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 23 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 15, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 26, 2014.
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
Toronto Police place 15 thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.7 a year. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 31, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Henry Farm.
