Park washrooms, washrooms in City buildings and automated street toilets, with hours and status as the City publishes them (park washrooms are seasonal). Malls, shops and TTC stations are not included.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
One registered apartment building with 208 rental units stands within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 22. The nearest is 182-250 Brenyon Way (930 m, 208 units, 21 storeys, built 1979), which scored 92 out of 100 at its October 2025 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.
Parking

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)
The south leg carries the load — 6,845 northbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 3,539. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,292 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 84% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,785). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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 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
The City's counter on Sheppard Ave E between Neilson Rd and Murison Blvd (200 m away) recorded an average of 60 km/h in its 7-day count in October 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 69 km/h. That segment carries about 15,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Berner Trail (348 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 38,804 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

| Sheppard Ave E · Neilson Rd – Murison Blvd · 200 m | Oct 2019 · 7 days | 15,864 | 60 km/h | 69 km/h | 74 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 348 m
Berner Trail (northbound), 97 Berner Trail · 38,804 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 (60 collisions), and 2025 closed with 39. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 38 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt; 2 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 4 happened in darkness — 25%, below the citywide 39%. 2022 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Sep 13, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 7.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 4 | #46 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #762 of 879 |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 1 | |
| In darkness | 1 | 25% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 7 | latest Sep 13, 2022 |
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

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.
