Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 28, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,457 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 5,735 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,014 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,277 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 4,014 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,277 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 126 collisions; 2025 recorded 78. 135 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 79 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 27 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 54 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 20, 2026.

None of the five serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 4 pedestrians were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 5 happened in darkness — 20%, below the citywide 39%. 2018 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Apr 12, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Sheppard Ave E between Shaughnessy Blvd and Don Mills Rd, 263 m from the corner, a 3-day count in December 2025 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 66 km/h or more. That segment carries about 28,300 vehicles a day.

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 28 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 4,967 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1650 Sheppard Ave E (204 m, 149 units, 15 storeys, built 1969), which scored 86 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

28 registered buildings · 4,967 units · 1 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.

23 thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.0 a year. 61% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 71% of the bike thefts were from transit 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 Henry Farm.
