Dundas & Lakeview

Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 24, 2005

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,938 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 349. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,311 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,065). Trucks and buses were 6.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 1,065 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,311 from 4:15 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 9 collisions. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 15% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 27, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. The most recent was on Jun 8, 2022.

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 Lakeview Ave between Harrison St and Churchill Ave (211 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ossington Ave (188 m away, 30 km/h limit), 23% of the 140,029 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Speed sign

Ossington Ave (northbound), 188 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 34 km/h, 85th percentile 42 km/h; 23% at 40 km/h or more. 140,029 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

24 registered apartment buildings with 1,185 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 255 Dovercourt Rd (223 m, 16 units, 3 storeys, built 1912), which scored 85 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 24 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

24 registered buildings · 1,185 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 two thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the bike 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.
