Dundas & Ontario

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 1, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 2,970 eastbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 109. Most cyclists arrived from the east (121 of 218). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 750 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (657). Trucks and buses were 5.7% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 657 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 750 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.

82 registered apartment buildings with 7,223 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 45 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 5.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 270 Milan St (94 m, 30 units, 3 storeys, built 2005), which scored 96 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 82 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

82 registered buildings · 7,223 units · 45 social housing · tallest 31 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 42 thefts from vehicles and 13 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 9.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 6.9 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 38% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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 Moss Park.
