Bayview & Front

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 24, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 891 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 84% of the total, against 172 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (45 of 105). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 165 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 157 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.1% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 165 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 157 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 Bayview Ave between Lawren Harris Sq and Corktown Common Trl (Id: 30060870), 88 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2026 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,000 vehicles a day.

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 two RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 360 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 181 Mill St (389 m, 310 units, 26 storeys, built 2022), which scored 100 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

2 registered buildings · 360 units · 1 social housing · tallest 26 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.

One theft from a vehicle and eight bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 38% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 1, 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 St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands.
