Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are three RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 364 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 5600 Sheppard Ave E (216 m, 120 units, 10 storeys, built 1970), which scored 94 out of 100 at its October 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 94, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 16 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.

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 23, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,392 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 507 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (49 of 114). Evening rush dominates here: 1,290 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 981 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Progress Ave between Rosebank Dr and Orchid Place Dr, 68 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2005 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Progress Ave · Rosebank Dr – Orchid Place Dr · 68 m | Nov 2005 · 24 h | 9,818 | 52 km/h | 59 km/h | 68 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 worst year was 2019, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 2 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 27% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 25, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 1.9 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

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
25 thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 3.3 a year before that. 96% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 25 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (24), apartment parking (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 11, 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 Malvern East.
