Brunswick & Dupont

Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 19, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,126 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 81 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (171 of 403). Evening rush dominates here: 1,656 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,465 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,465 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,656 from 4:30 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

The worst year was 2017, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 19, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 24, 2007.

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

On Brunswick Ave between Bernard Ave and Dupont St, 133 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2018 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Brunswick Avenue between Dupont St and Wells St.

Brunswick Avenue (Dupont St – Wells St): 5 speed humps

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 42 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,495 rental units, 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 399 Dupont St (157 m, 20 units, 3 storeys, built 1913), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 42 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

42 registered buildings · 2,495 units · 3 social housing · tallest 23 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.

Six thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.7 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 57% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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 Annex.
