Every establishment Toronto Public Health inspects under DineSafe, screened by name to leave out kitchens inside schools, care homes and offices. A conditional pass means infractions had to be fixed by a follow-up visit, not that the premises is closed.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there is one RentSafeTO-registered apartment building — 249 rental units. The nearest is 1 Dean Park Rd (835 m, 249 units, 16 storeys, built 1979), which scored 87 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.
| Nearest buildings | Units | Storeys | Built | Score | LTB orders | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Dean Park Rd · Medallion Corporation | 249 | 16 | 1979 | 87 · Sep 2024 | 11 | 835 m |
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, ≈95 spaces; 167 m away, ≈56 spaces; 202 m away, ≈38 spaces; 234 m away, ≈24 spaces; 364 m away, ≈13 spaces; 395 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 — 8-hour, Apr 1, 2023 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,649 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 506 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,264 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 637 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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 Ecopark Gt and Rouge River Dr, 132 m from the corner, a 7-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 66 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 75 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 92 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,400 vehicles a day. Dean Park Rd between Lovel Ave and Dali Cres measured slower: 48 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 57 km/h (Apr 2004). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheppard Ave E · Ecopark Gt – Rouge River Dr · 132 m | Oct 2019 · 7 days | 14,374 | 66 km/h | 75 km/h | 92 km/h |
| Dean Park Rd · Lovel Ave – Dali Cres · 317 m | Apr 2004 · 24 h | 2,339 | 48 km/h | 57 km/h | 63 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 2023, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 13 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 20, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 28, 2013.
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
Two thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 27, 2022. 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.
