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

Nearest lots: 390 m away, ≈51 spaces; 447 m away, ≈55 spaces; 452 m away, ≈16 spaces; 454 m away, ≈35 spaces; 485 m away, ≈124 spaces; 492 m away, ≈160 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, Nov 28, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,055 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 351. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 716 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 697 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years 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
The City's counter on Burbank Dr between Sifton Crt and Hawksbury Dr (47 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 6,900 vehicles a day. Hawksbury Dr between Morewood Cres and Bayberry Cres measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Jun 2012).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burbank Dr · Sifton Crt – Hawksbury Dr · 47 m | Oct 2024 · 3 days | 6,865 | 42 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Hawksbury Dr · Morewood Cres – Bayberry Cres · 385 m | Jun 2012 · 24 h | 1,074 | 39 km/h | 46 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.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
