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: 40 m away, ≈36 spaces; 50 m away, ≈3 spaces; 83 m away, ≈79 spaces; 113 m away, ≈371 spaces; 142 m away, ≈65 spaces; 185 m away, ≈37 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 19, 2025 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,009 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 8 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (62 of 116). Evening rush dominates here: 1,725 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 979 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Sheppard Ave E between Allanford Rd and Kennedy Rd, 219 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,700 vehicles a day. Allanford Rd between Cass Ave and Dempster St measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Oct 2019). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Allenford Rd (146 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 20,567 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheppard Ave E · Allanford Rd – Kennedy Rd · 219 m | Sep 2019 · 2 days | 22,659 | 50 km/h | 60 km/h | 67 km/h |
| Allanford Rd · Cass Ave – Dempster St · 314 m | Oct 2019 · 2 days | 1,095 | 36 km/h | 45 km/h | 50 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 146 m
Allenford Rd (southbound), 172 Allanford Road · 20,567 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 87 collisions; 2025 recorded 65. 54 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 216 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 32 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 41 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 30, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 39.6 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 4, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. The police all-collisions file records 3 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places them just outside the 65 m radius.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1327 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #758 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Aug 4, 2021 |
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.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 20, 2026.
