Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are seven RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 140 rental units — all social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 23 Durnford Rd (248 m, 14 units, 3 storeys, built 1992), which scored 87 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 2 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 2 fire-code violations are open across them.

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: 94 m away, ≈197 spaces; 103 m away, ≈79 spaces; 148 m away, ≈84 spaces; 156 m away, ≈4 spaces; 159 m away, ≈92 spaces; 174 m away, ≈147 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 east: 10,013 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 3,781 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 4,057 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,210 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% 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 Durnford Rd and Nature Ptwy, 287 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 70 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,200 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Durnford Rd (312 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 32,990 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

School-zone speed sign 312 m
Durnford Rd (northbound) · 32,990 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
The worst year was 2024, with 63 collisions; 2025 recorded 52. 73 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 57 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 11 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 30 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 25, 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
Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jul 4, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 2 | #224 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #184 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 2 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest Jul 4, 2021 |
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
Four thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
