Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Sheppard Ave E & Kennedy Rd — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Sheppard & Kennedy, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
17 registered apartment buildings with 2,514 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2250 Kennedy Rd (119 m, 136 units, 18 storeys, built 1960), which scored 97 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 75 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 6 fire-code violations are open across them.

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: 54 m away, ≈89 spaces; 62 m away, ≈68 spaces; 92 m away, ≈35 spaces; 100 m away, ≈18 spaces; 105 m away, ≈65 spaces; 106 m away, ≈149 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 south leg carries the load — 15,069 northbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 7,876. Most cyclists arrived from the east (47 of 110). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,340 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 59% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,724). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% 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 Allanford Rd and Kennedy Rd (218 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 22,700 vehicles a day. Kennedy Rd between Sheppard Ave E and Bonis Ave measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 56 km/h (Apr 2026). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kennedy Rd · Sheppard Ave E – Bonis Ave · 145 m | Apr 2026 · 3 days | 33,171 | 45 km/h | 56 km/h | 63 km/h |
| Sheppard Ave E · Allanford Rd – Kennedy Rd · 218 m | Sep 2019 · 2 days | 22,659 | 50 km/h | 60 km/h | 67 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
2017 was the peak year (142 collisions), and 2025 closed with 130. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 150 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 47 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 18, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 25.6 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 13, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 5. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places one of them just outside the 65 m radius.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 2 | #221 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #172 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #252 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest Oct 13, 2024 |
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 47 thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 9.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 11 in 2023–2025, about 3.7 a year, against 6.3 a year before that. 77% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 38% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 2, 2026.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 47 | 10 | 1 | street/outdoor (36), commercial premises (4) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 2, 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.
