Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 20, 2019

The south leg carries the load — 6,966 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 294. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,989 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,840). Trucks and buses were 15.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 1,840 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,989 from 4:00 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

2018 was the peak year (13 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 8, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 12, 2017.

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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 460 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 870 Weston Rd (343 m, 11 units, 3 storeys, built 1956), which scored 98 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

11 registered buildings · 460 units · 1 social housing · tallest 14 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.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Keelesdale-Eglinton West.
