Sheppard & Brentwood

Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 15, 2016

The east leg carries the load — 6,852 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 122. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,303 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,255 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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.

Peak hours: 2,303 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,255 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2022 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 28% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Sheppard Ave W between Easton Rd and Brentwood Ave (8 m away, Apr 2014) recorded volume only — about 26,823 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Four registered apartment buildings with 755 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 325 Bogert Ave (180 m, 416 units, 6 storeys, built 1967), which scored 84 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

4 registered buildings · 755 units · tallest 13 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025, though 1 has been reported since January 2026.

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 Lansing-Westgate.
