Dundas & Sheridan

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 2, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 2,982 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 62. Most cyclists arrived from the west (134 of 271). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,006 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (822). Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 822 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,006 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 13 collisions. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 14% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 7, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 6, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.

20 registered apartment buildings with 1,172 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1544 Dundas St W (58 m, 95 units, 8 storeys, built 2016), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 20 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

20 registered buildings · 1,172 units · 3 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 three thefts from vehicles and 11 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.7 a year before that. 55% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 Little Portugal.
