Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
25 registered apartment buildings with 4,841 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3950 Keele Street · Surface | 1.6 km | 335 * | — |
Nearest lots: 88 m away, ≈44 spaces; 94 m away, ≈24 spaces; 116 m away, ≈34 spaces; 120 m away, ≈87 spaces; 162 m away, ≈37 spaces; 175 m away, ≈26 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 — 8-hour, Mar 20, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 9,211 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 259. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,804 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,510). Trucks and buses were 7.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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 Topcliff Ave between Demaris Ave and Yellowstone St (352 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finch Ave W · Topcliff Ave – Driftwood Ave · 162 m | Nov 2011 · 3 days | 41,802 | — | — | — |
| Topcliff Ave · Demaris Ave – Yellowstone St · 352 m | Sep 2020 · 3 days | 1,111 | 38 km/h | 49 km/h | 55 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 24, 2008.
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.
