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: 60 m away, ≈75 spaces; 115 m away, ≈56 spaces; 134 m away, ≈486 spaces; 134 m away, ≈36 spaces; 136 m away, ≈16 spaces; 189 m away, ≈12 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, Oct 27, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 7,856 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 966. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,429 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,216). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Sheppard Ave W between Yeomans Rd and Maxwell St (269 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2008; 85% of drivers were at or under 66 km/h. That segment carries about 24,900 vehicles a day. Hove St between Cocksfield Ave and Codsell Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2021). The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hove St · Cocksfield Ave – Codsell Ave · 250 m | Oct 2021 · 3 days | 2,389 | 35 km/h | 44 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Sheppard Ave W · Yeomans Rd – Maxwell St · 269 m | May 2008 · 24 h | 24,911 | 58 km/h | 66 km/h | 72 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. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 7, 2009.
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
Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 2 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (1), other (1) |
| Bicycle theft | 1 | 0 | 0 | house driveway/garage (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 1, 2023. 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 Clanton Park.
