Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score

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, Mar 1, 2025 (a weekend day)
The west leg carries the load — 10,999 eastbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,582. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,717 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 39% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,952). Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Hawksbury Dr between Sheppard Ave E and Elkhorn Dr (118 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 24-hour count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 3,000 vehicles a day. Rean Dr between Thomas Clark Way and Sheppard Ave E measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Oct 2021). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Elkhorn Dr (353 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 307 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Elkhorn Dr (eastbound), 53m West of Elkhorn Drive · 307 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
2019 was the peak year (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 9. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 5, 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. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 25, 2010.
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
Toronto Police place 23 thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 18 in 2023–2025, about 6.0 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 48% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 6, 2026.
