Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are four RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 611 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 75-85 Silver Springs Blvd (335 m, 88 units, 9 storeys, built 1978), which scored 91 out of 100 at its October 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 22 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 6 fire-code violations are open across them.

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
Nearest lots: 81 m away, ≈4 spaces; 119 m away, ≈363 spaces; 119 m away, ≈4 spaces; 182 m away, ≈4 spaces; 194 m away, ≈3 spaces; 213 m away, ≈4 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, Jun 11, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,469 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 575 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (82 of 175). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,233 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,341 from 5:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 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 most recent midblock count on Finch Ave E between Wayside Ave and Kennedy Rd (129 m away, Oct 2011) recorded volume only — about 40,245 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Silver Spring Blvd (336 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.3% of the 32,293 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finch Ave E · Wayside Ave – Kennedy Rd · 129 m | Oct 2011 · 3 days | 40,245 | — | — | — |
School-zone speed sign 336 m
Silver Spring Blvd (southbound), 193 Silver Springs Boulevard · 32,293 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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 2018, with 54 collisions; 2025 recorded 22. 35 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 43 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 18 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 28, 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
Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 27, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.
By year

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Oct 27, 2023 |
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.
