Barton & Manning

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 6, 2005

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 867 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 682 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the west (265 of 622). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 354 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 51% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (235). Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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.

Peak hours: 354 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 235 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

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 22 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 603 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 42 Barton Ave (278 m, 24 units, 4 storeys, built 1929), which scored 100 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 22 scored below 70; the average is 84, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

22 registered buildings · 603 units · 2 social housing · tallest 12 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.

Four thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 7, 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 Annex.
