| Nearest buildings | Units | Storeys | Built | Score | LTB orders | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 125 Bamburgh Crcl · Sterling Karamar Property Management | 332 | 20 | 1978 | 90 · Oct 2024 | 0 | 745 m |
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: 518 m away, ≈123 spaces; 538 m away, ≈63 spaces; 572 m away, ≈24 spaces; 585 m away, ≈425 spaces; 609 m away, ≈58 spaces; 658 m away, ≈1,004 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, Jan 31, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 11,071 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 102 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,535 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,758 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, not today's volume. 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 most recent midblock count on Steeles Ave E between Firebrace Rd and Walkway E of Firebrace and S of Steeles (32 m away, Apr 2014) recorded volume only — about 27,246 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steeles Ave E · Firebrace Rd – Walkway E of Firebrace and S of Steeles · 32 m | Apr 2014 · 3 days | 27,246 | — | — | — |
| Firebrace Rd · Glencoyne Cres – Steeles Ave E · 38 m | Jun 2016 · 3 days | 4,948 | — | — | — |
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.
