Donlands & Fielding

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 19, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,611 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 210. Most cyclists arrived from the south (41 of 81). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 814 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 872 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 814 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 872 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 KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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

The City's counter on Fielding Ave between Dewhurst Blvd and Lane W of Donlands and S of Fielding (137 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Donlands Ave between Chan Lane and Strathmore Blvd measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2022) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Glebeholme Blvd (130 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 16,912 vehicles logged in May 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 969 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 51 Donlands Ave (130 m, 53 units, 5 storeys, built 1985), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

11 registered buildings · 969 units · 6 social housing · tallest 14 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 six thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 67% 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 Danforth.
