Broadview & Wolfrey

Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 21, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,619 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 202. Most cyclists arrived from the north (160 of 346). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 698 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (585). Trucks and buses were 19.9% 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 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 585 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 698 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

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 2006

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.

21 registered apartment buildings with 1,896 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 717 Broadview Ave (114 m, 69 units, 8 storeys, built 1972), which scored 98 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 21 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

21 registered buildings · 1,896 units · 2 social housing · tallest 24 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 four thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median 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 North Riverdale.
