Bloor & Lothian

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 11, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 8,679 westbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 463. Most cyclists arrived from the west (217 of 423). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,357 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,425 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,357 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,425 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

2017 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 30% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 3, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

The City's counter on Bloor St W between Cosmo Rd and Tom Riley Park Trl (327 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 18,700 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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 2,725 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 8 Lomond Dr (464 m, 183 units, 24 storeys, built 1973), which scored 98 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 96, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

11 registered buildings · 2,725 units · 2 social housing · tallest 37 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 five thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the vehicle 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 Stonegate-Queensway.
