Boardwalk & Joseph Duggan

Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 14, 2006

The west leg carries the load — 194 eastbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 52. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 89 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (81). Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 81 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 89 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).

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 2018

The City's counter on Boardwalk Dr between Sarah Ashbridge Ave and Lane W of Joseph Duggan and N of Boardwalk (75 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h.

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.

18 registered apartment buildings with 578 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1836 Queen St E (396 m, 30 units, 4 storeys, built 1925), which scored 86 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

18 registered buildings · 578 units · 3 social housing · tallest 6 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 three thefts from vehicles and nine bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 56% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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 The Beaches.
