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: 51 m away, ≈8 spaces; 56 m away, ≈64 spaces; 71 m away, ≈71 spaces; 94 m away, ≈37 spaces; 115 m away, ≈171 spaces; 118 m away, ≈151 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)
The west leg carries the load — 7,911 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 387. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,727 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 74% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (995). Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% 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 Sheppard Ave E between Bay Mills Blvd and Amethyst Rd (168 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 24,600 vehicles a day. Bay Mills Blvd between Sheppard Ave E and Davisbrook Blvd measured slower: 46 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (Jul 2023).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bay Mills Blvd · Sheppard Ave E – Davisbrook Blvd · 0 m | Jul 2023 · 2 days | 11,421 | 46 km/h | 54 km/h | 59 km/h |
| Sheppard Ave E · Bay Mills Blvd – Amethyst Rd · 168 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 24,550 | 47 km/h | 55 km/h | 60 km/h |
| Aragon Ave · Cass Ave – Sheppard Ave E · 188 m | Sep 2004 · 2 days | 2,045 | 38 km/h | 47 km/h | 53 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

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Nov 14, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
