Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 7, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 6,473 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,883. Most cyclists arrived from the north (1,140 of 2,594). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,209 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (1,078). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,078 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 1,209 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

2018 was the peak year (36 collisions), and 2025 closed with 25. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 33 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 19 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 26, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Oct 21, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 Bremner Blvd between Olympic Park Trl and Rees St (183 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in January 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 6,600 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.

Three registered apartment buildings with 531 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 350 Queens Quay W (757 m, 228 units, 19 storeys, built 1987), which scored 98 out of 100 at its September 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

3 registered buildings · 531 units · tallest 21 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 21 thefts from vehicles and 22 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 7.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 16 in 2023–2025, about 5.3 a year, against 3.9 a year before that. 86% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 41% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 6 more have been reported, the latest on May 2, 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 Harbourfront-CityPlace.
