Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
52 registered apartment buildings with 2,700 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 99 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 1 fire-code violation is 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: 114 m away, ≈139 spaces; 253 m away, ≈55 spaces; 268 m away, ≈121 spaces; 286 m away, ≈9 spaces; 299 m away, ≈36 spaces; 335 m away, ≈33 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, Oct 26, 2025 (a weekend day)
The south leg carries the load — 9,030 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 190. Most cyclists arrived from the south (42 of 89). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,952 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 96% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (997). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Pharmacy Ave between Noreen Dr and Shangarry Dr (255 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 20,400 vehicles a day. Biscayne Blvd between Shangarry Dr and Shaneen Blvd measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Mar 2024).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biscayne Blvd · Shangarry Dr – Shaneen Blvd · 215 m | Mar 2024 · 3 days | 2,176 | 44 km/h | 52 km/h | 58 km/h |
| Pharmacy Ave · Noreen Dr – Shangarry Dr · 255 m | Apr 2024 · 3 days | 20,367 | 53 km/h | 63 km/h | 69 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 8 collisions. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 4% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 24, 2020. 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 Wexford/Maryvale.
