Dundas & Sherbourne

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 15, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,031 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 3,207 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,381 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,434 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,381 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,434 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 worst year was 2018, with 26 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 46 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 35 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 49 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (25%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 14 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 3, 2026.

Of the six serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, four were fatal. 6 pedestrians were among those hurt. 4 of the 6 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. 2021 alone accounted for 2 of them. The last one inside the window was in 2025. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 3 serious-injury collisions have been recorded here (2 pedestrians involved), the latest on Aug 30, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 12.

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

On Sherbourne St between Shuter St and Dundas St E, 124 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2026 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,100 vehicles a day.

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 89 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 8,876 rental units, 5.9× the median for a Toronto intersection — 50 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 223 Sherbourne St (33 m, 60 units, 6 storeys, built 1988), which scored 64 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 89 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

89 registered buildings · 8,876 units · 50 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.

50 thefts from vehicles and 15 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 11× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 12 in 2023–2025, about 4.0 a year, against 7.6 a year before that. 72% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on May 10, 2026.

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.
