Chiltern Hill & Eglinton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 13, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 13,514 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 919. Most cyclists arrived from the east (32 of 64). Morning rush is the busier period: 2,280 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 2,105 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 2,280 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,105 from 5:45 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 (41 collisions), and 2025 closed with 14. 4% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 31 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 9, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 3. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.

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.

52 registered apartment buildings with 3,445 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 989 Eglinton Ave W (252 m, 146 units, 7 storeys, built 1980), which scored 91 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 52 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

52 registered buildings · 3,445 units · 4 social housing · tallest 11 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 11 thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 45% 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 Forest Hill North.
