Brimley & Omni

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 2, 2024 · weekend

The north leg carries the load — 12,810 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 335. Most cyclists arrived from the south (35 of 50). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,556 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 64% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,555). Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,555 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,556 from 2:30 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

2019 was the peak year (16 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 20, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The last one inside the window was in 2022. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 motorcyclist involved), the latest on May 31, 2026.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Brimley Rd between Omni Dr and Triton Rd (146 m away, Nov 2013) recorded volume only — about 16,368 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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 124 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 1181 Ellesmere Rd (923 m, 32 units, 4 storeys, built 1976), which scored 91 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

3 registered buildings · 124 units · tallest 5 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 eight thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.2 a year. 50% 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.
