Dundas & Crawford

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 11, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 4,869 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 508. Most cyclists arrived from the west (647 of 1,212). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,675 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,357). Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% 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: 1,357 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,675 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).

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.

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.

19 registered apartment buildings with 1,545 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 300 Shaw St (199 m, 32 units, 3 storeys, built 1966), which scored 90 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 19 scored below 70; the average is 84, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

19 registered buildings · 1,545 units · 6 social housing · tallest 13 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 five thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% 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 Trinity-Bellwoods.
