Every establishment Toronto Public Health inspects under DineSafe, screened by name to leave out kitchens inside schools, care homes and offices. A conditional pass means infractions had to be fixed by a follow-up visit, not that the premises is closed.

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

| Downsview Lot - 415 William R Allen Rd · Surface | 1.5 km | 632 * | — |

Nearest lots: 76 m away, ≈272 spaces; 122 m away, ≈101 spaces; 149 m away, ≈442 spaces; 171 m away, ≈98 spaces; 219 m away, ≈1,576 spaces; 224 m away, ≈123 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 15, 2025 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,348 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 3,331 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,917 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,591 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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. 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
The City's most recent midblock count on Chesswood Dr between Sheppard Ave W and Steeprock Dr (105 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 15,715 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chesswood Dr · Sheppard Ave W – Steeprock Dr · 105 m | Apr 2013 · 3 days | 15,715 | — | — | — |
| Sheppard Ave W · Kodiak Cres – Chesswood Dr · 197 m | Sep 2014 · 7 days | 15,924 | — | — | — |
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 2019, with 43 collisions; 2025 recorded 39. 50 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 11, 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
17 thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 4, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jan 4, 2026. 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 Downsview.
