Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 9, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,280 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 3,059 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (2,529 of 5,466). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,452 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 1,415 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,452 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 1,415 from 4:45 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 12 collisions. 17 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 13 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (16%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

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.

11 thefts from vehicles and 31 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 7.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 4.2 a year. 82% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 74% of the bike thefts were from school or campus property.

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 University.
