Mobile Watch Your Speed Program – Speed Summary

The Mobile WYSP uses devices called speed display signs or driver feedback signs which contain a radar device and an LED display. These signs are installed against an existing hydro pole or streetlight. The radar measures the speeds of oncoming vehicles and the LED sign displays their speeds to the passing motorists, thereby reminding them to check their speeds and to obey speed limits. The City’s portable units are rotated throughout each ward on a monthly basis throughout the year. This dataset contains a summary of observed speeds for each sign installation and the operational parameters of the sign.  See [Mobile Watch Your Speed Program – Detailed Speed Counts](https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/mobile-watch-your-speed-program-detailed-speed-counts/) for hourly speed counts.

Automated Speed Enforcement Locations

In November of 2025, the Ontario Government banned the use of speed cameras, and so this dataset is no longer being updated.

Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is an automated system that uses a camera and a speed measurement
device to detect and capture images of vehicles travelling in excess of the posted speed limit. It is designed to
work in tandem with other methods and strategies, including engineering measures, education initiatives and
traditional police enforcement. ASE is focused on altering driver behaviour to decrease speeding and increase
safety.

This dataset includes previously active and planned locations of City of Toronto's Automated Speed Enforcement
systems by latitude and longitude.

For a list of historical locations, please visit the Automated Speed Enforcement website or contact us at the

Apartment Building Registration

The Apartment Building Standard (ABS) program is based on a new bylaw Chapter 354, which defines formal criteria to identify all rental apartment buildings in the city with 3 or more storeys and 10 or more units.  The ABS program is part of RentSafeTO which is a multi-residential inspection program that establishes standards on how building owners operate their building(s) and communicate with their tenants, in addition to establishing a schedule for continuous building evaluation, audit and enforcement of these standards.

This dataset contains building information for the buildings that are registered in the ABS program. This information was collected from building owners/managers during the initial registration process, and is updated on an annual basis as part of the registration renewal process.

Street Tree Data

This data primarily pertains to City-owned trees located on road allowances across Toronto. The intent of the database is to provide an inventory of City owned-trees on the road allowance for inspection and maintenance. Urban Forestry has had requests to determine ownership of trees within the road allowance, and where this has confirmed private ownership, these trees may be in the database as well for future reference.

The dataset is limited to the City of Toronto boundaries and is best utilized when overlaid with the City's Street Centreline file. This shape file should not be used for ownership verification. The positioning shown is not accurate as the tree data has been geographically coded to the parcel address, and this will incorrectly indicate the tree location within the private parcel. The Toronto Street Tree data is compiled by Urban Forestry staff during their inspections or tree maintenance work on trees located on City owned street allowances. The database is large covering over 530,000 records and annually Urban Forestry can only update the volume that is worked on. Some data may be several years old and have not been updated recently, so there may be inaccuracies with the data as a result.

 

**_Note:_** _We are currently updating and improving street tree location information. This is an ongoing process; therefore, some trees may still appear mapped to the address point, whereas others will be mapped in their physical location along the street. For more information please contact Urban Forestry._

**_Downloading_** _This is a fairly large data set. If you have any issues (like a timeout) using the dynamic file downloader (the first link in the "Download Data" section) feel free to use the **Alternate Files**._

Capital Projects Pipeline

*This page provides advance visibility into capital projects planned to be issued for competitive procurement, helping industry plan capacity and resources.*

A capital project is the full scope of City-led work undertaken to create, acquire, improve, refurbish, or extend the life of tangible assets, including land, buildings, engineered structures, water and wastewater infrastructure, parks and public realm assets, equipment, vehicles, and technology systems, that support service delivery, enable growth, or fulfill legislated requirements over multiple years. These projects result in long-term municipal assets that provide benefits beyond one fiscal year and require Council-approved funding through the capital budget process.

The City of Toronto’s capital projects are implemented based on the current approved [10-year Capital Budget](https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/budget-finances/city-budget/).

This list focuses on projects to be tendered by **four divisions within Infrastructure Services: Engineering & Construction Services (ECS)**, the City’s primary capital delivery agent, and its three primary asset owner clients: **Toronto Water (TW), Transportation Services (TS)**, and **Solid Waste Management Services (SWMS)**.
