Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are three RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 124 rental units. The nearest is 1191 Ellesmere Rd (654 m, 27 units, 4 storeys, built 1976), which scored 88 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation.

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, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,421 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 279 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,215 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 1,277 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 22 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 Bernadine St between Cora Cres and Doerr Rd, 124 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. Applefield Dr between Birkdale Ravine Trl and Brimley Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jun 2026). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Applefield Dr · Birkdale Ravine Trl – Brimley Rd · 86 m | Jun 2026 · 3 days | 633 | 35 km/h | 43 km/h | 48 km/h |
| Brimley Rd · Bernadine St – Ellesmere Rd · 99 m | Nov 2013 · 3 days | 29,885 | — | — | — |
| Bernadine St · Cora Cres – Doerr Rd · 124 m | Apr 2019 · 2 days | 1,346 | 40 km/h | 49 km/h | 54 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 8 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 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 10, 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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
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
13 thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.7 a year before that. 92% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 13 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (12), house driveway/garage (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 13, 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 Bendale-Glen Andrew.
