Bloor & Euclid

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 14, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,753 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 72 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,207 of 2,253). Evening rush dominates here: 1,138 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,027 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 2021, 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: 1,027 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,138 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

The worst year was 2023, with 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 16 collisions (22%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (12%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 15, 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 Jan 30, 2010.

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 Bloor St W between Manning Ave and Clinton St, 151 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Euclid Ave between Harbord St and Herrick St measured slower: 20 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 28 km/h (Oct 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Manning Ave (228 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 41,783 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Euclid Avenue between Bloor St W and Harbord St.

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 29 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,112 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 532 Palmerston Blvd (149 m, 21 units, 4 storeys, built 1911), which scored 94 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 29 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

29 registered buildings · 1,112 units · 2 social housing · tallest 20 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.

27 thefts from vehicles and ten bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 6.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 4.1 a year before that. 93% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Palmerston-Little Italy.
