Bloor & Beamish

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 11, 2003

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,669 eastbound vehicles, or 65% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 887. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,257 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 1,029 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, 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: 1,257 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,029 from 4:30 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

2016 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 41% of collisions here involved an injury. People walking or cycling were involved in 24% of collisions here. The most recent report on file is from May 19, 2025.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Feb 6, 2024.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Bloor St W between Kipling Ave and Prennan Ave (107 m away, Sep 2013) recorded volume only — about 16,171 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

7 registered buildings · 1,622 units · 2 social housing · tallest 41 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 Etobicoke City Centre.
