Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 21, 2016

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,585 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 358 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 923 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 875 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 923 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 875 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 is one RentSafeTO-registered apartment building — 145 rental units — it is social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1680 Ellesmere Rd (632 m, 145 units, 8 storeys, built 1994), which scored 98 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

1 registered building · 145 units · 1 social housing · tallest 8 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.

12 thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 58% 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 Bendale-Glen Andrew.
