Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Two registered apartment buildings with 214 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 5600 Sheppard Ave E (489 m, 120 units, 10 storeys, built 1970), which scored 94 out of 100 at its October 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

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, Oct 19, 2025 (a weekend day)
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,646 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 730. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,174 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 48% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (792). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% 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 Gateforth Dr between Rayward Crt and Mammoth Hall Trl (204 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Burrows Hall Blvd (228 m away, 30 km/h limit), 17% of the 49,691 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

| Gateforth Dr · Rayward Crt – Mammoth Hall Trl · 204 m | Jul 2026 · 3 days | 2,045 | 31 km/h | 38 km/h | 42 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 228 m
Burrows Hall Blvd (westbound), 196 Burrows Hall Boulevard · 49,691 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.

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 Apr 6, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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
