Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2016, with 74 collisions; 2025 recorded 55. 108 collisions (22%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 90 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 32 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 38 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 2026.

Of the six serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt; 3 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 6 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. 2017 alone accounted for 2 of them. The last one inside the window was in 2025. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Mar 6, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 11.

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 most recent midblock count on Brimley Rd between Eglinton Ave E and No Frills Lane (53 m away, Nov 2013) recorded volume only — about 12,961 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Bimbrok Rd (353 m away, 30 km/h limit), 14% of the 13,605 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Speed sign

Bimbrok Rd (northbound), 353 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 30 km/h, 85th percentile 39 km/h; 14% at 40 km/h or more. 13,605 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 25 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,131 rental units — eight social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 998 Danforth Rd (193 m, 21 units, 3 storeys, built 1958), which scored 93 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 25 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

25 registered buildings · 2,131 units · 8 social housing · tallest 18 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.

Ten thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.5 a year. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 60% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 26, 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 Eglinton East.
