Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,070 vehicles, about the citywide median. Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 1.5 to 1 — rare for a Toronto intersection, where the median is one pedestrian for every 13 vehicles. Cyclists were 17.2% of vehicle volume, about 22× the typical share. That comes with about 9.8 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 6.5 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.32× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 44%, from 63 in 2016–2020 to 35 in 2021–2025. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 9, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 6,776 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 587. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,193 of 2,579). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,233 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,314 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place 24 thefts from vehicles and 19 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 7.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 5.1 a year before that. 83% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 53% of the bike thefts were from other premises.

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.
