Eastern & Mc Gee

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 13, 2020

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,265 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 355 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,947 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (1,712). Trucks and buses were 12.0% 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. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 1,947 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,712 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 4 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 28, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

On Eastern Ave between Lewis St and Dibble St, 126 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Mc Gee St between Eastern Ave and McCleary Playground Trl measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Mar 2018).

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 eight RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 349 rental units — seven social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 502 Eastern Ave (329 m, 19 units, 5 storeys, built 1989), which scored 91 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 8 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

8 registered buildings · 349 units · 7 social housing · tallest 5 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.

Five thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 83% 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see South Riverdale.
