Alberta & Davenport

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 4, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,233 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 659 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (836 of 1,658). Evening rush dominates here: 1,346 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:45 p.m., against 1,004 in the morning peak from 7:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,004 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 a.m. and 1,346 from 5:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2024, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 9 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 25, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Mar 17, 2008.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

How fast traffic moves here

On Davenport Rd between Marchmount Rd and Shaw St, 338 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Alberta Ave between Lt. John Roberts Kenmure Lane and Tyrrel Ave measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 31 km/h (Jun 2025). 3 speed humps slow traffic on Alberta Avenue between St Clair Ave W and Davenport Rd.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Within a kilometre there are 20 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 773 rental units — five social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 10 Mount Royal Ave (164 m, 12 units, 3 storeys, built 1913), which scored 82 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

20 registered buildings · 773 units · 5 social housing · tallest 19 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Two thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 24, 2026.

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 Wychwood.
