Bloor & Rusholme

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 1, 2003

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 5,003 vehicles entering from the east to 5,225 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,458 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,535 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 24 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: 1,458 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,535 from 5:00 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

2023 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 35% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 17% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

The City's counter on Bloor St W between Westmoreland Ave and Rusholme Rd (30 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 11,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Rusholme Rd between Hepbourne St and Bloor St W measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Dec 2021).

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.

17 registered apartment buildings with 1,269 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1019 Bloor St W (30 m, 26 units, 3 storeys, built 1928), which scored 63 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 17 scored below 70; the average is 83, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

17 registered buildings · 1,269 units · 3 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.

Toronto Police place 19 thefts from vehicles and 11 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 3.4 a year before that. 79% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 36% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 6, 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 Dufferin Grove.
