Food premises, public washrooms, child care and emergency services — distances are straight-line from the node

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.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 12 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 645 rental units. The nearest is 53 Generation Blvd (47 m, 12 units, 3 storeys, built 1975), which scored 79 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 83, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 19 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue.
| Nearest buildings | Units | Storeys | Built | Score | LTB orders | Distance |

| 53 Generation Blvd · Morguard Residential | 12 | 3 | 1975 | 79 · Jul 2026 | 0 | 47 m |

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: 105 m away, ≈8 spaces; 115 m away, ≈67 spaces; 135 m away, ≈10 spaces; 148 m away, ≈9 spaces; 151 m away, ≈11 spaces; 155 m away, ≈68 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, Nov 2, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 639 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 397 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 298 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 34% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (222). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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
On Generation Blvd between 95 Generation Blvd and 115 Generation Blvd, 130 m from the corner, a 2-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Generation Blvd · 95 Generation Blvd – 115 Generation Blvd · 130 m | Oct 2019 · 2 days | 1,056 | 37 km/h | 45 km/h | 50 km/h |
| Rainbow Ridge Ave · Lionhead Trl – Sheppard Ave E · 219 m | Jun 2007 · 3 days | 1,604 | — | — | — |
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 2021, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 2 collisions (7%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city.

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
15 thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 33% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 15 | 7 | 0 | house driveway/garage (5), street/outdoor (5) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 10, 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 West Rouge.
