Dundas & Michael Power

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,581 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 400 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,493 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,279 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,279 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,493 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 2020, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 15 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 22, 2009.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2017

On Michael Power Pl between Resurrection Rd and Michael Power Park Trl, 77 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2017 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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 20 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,762 rental units — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 5005 Dundas St W (150 m, 255 units, 19 storeys, built 1962), which scored 92 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 95, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

20 registered buildings · 3,762 units · 4 social housing · tallest 37 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.

Seven thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner 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. 71% 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 Etobicoke City Centre.
