Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 20, 2021

The west leg carries the load — 3,314 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 124. Most cyclists arrived from the west (377 of 789). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,019 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (928). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 928 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,019 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 4 collisions. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 18% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 19, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 8, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.

28 registered apartment buildings with 1,601 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1 Havelock St (41 m, 18 units, 3 storeys, built 1905), which scored 81 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Four buildings of the 28 scored below 70; the average is 82, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

28 registered buildings · 1,601 units · 4 social housing · tallest 20 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 eight thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.2 a year. 63% 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 Little Portugal.
