Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 25, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 14,574 southbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 178. Most cyclists arrived from the east (2,000 of 3,818). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,911 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,704 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,911 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,704 from 4:00 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

2019 was the peak year (33 collisions), and 2025 closed with 16. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 32 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 14 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 14, 2010.

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.

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.

30 registered apartment buildings with 7,855 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 36 Castle Frank Rd (389 m, 53 units, 4 storeys, built 1950), which scored 89 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 30 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

30 registered buildings · 7,855 units · 6 social housing · tallest 51 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 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 Cabbagetown-South St.James Town.
