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.

Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 56 m away, ≈24 spaces; 81 m away, ≈38 spaces; 102 m away, ≈13 spaces; 106 m away, ≈56 spaces; 152 m away, ≈251 spaces; 155 m away, ≈95 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, Aug 27, 2025
The west leg carries the load — 7,338 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 127. Most cyclists arrived from the west (55 of 106). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,441 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 64% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (876). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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 Rouge River Dr and Ecopark Gt (128 m away) recorded an average of 64 km/h in its 7-day count in October 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 17,500 vehicles a day. 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 · Rouge River Dr – Ecopark Gt · 128 m | Oct 2019 · 7 days | 17,549 | 64 km/h | 73 km/h | 78 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
2024 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 31% of collisions here involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
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 ten thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 10 | 1 | 0 | house driveway/garage (6), apartment parking (2) |
| Bicycle theft | 0 | 0 | 0 | — |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 2, 2024. 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 West Rouge.
