Broadview & Hillside

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 19, 2022

The south leg carries the load — 4,880 northbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 103. Most cyclists arrived from the south (111 of 175). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,608 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,279). Trucks and buses were 6.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,279 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,608 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

2021 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 28% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 11% of collisions here. The most recent report on file is from Apr 19, 2025.

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 Jul 3, 2020.

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 Broadview Ave between Hillside Dr and Bater Ave (64 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 4-day count in April 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 16,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

56 registered apartment buildings with 3,665 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 1111 Broadview Ave (125 m, 41 units, 4 storeys, built 1973), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Four buildings of the 56 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

56 registered buildings · 3,665 units · 1 social housing · tallest 22 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 two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Broadview North.
