Eglinton & Donlea

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 6, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 12,882 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 141. Most cyclists arrived from the west (56 of 104). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,106 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,179 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.9% 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 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,106 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,179 from 4:15 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

2023 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 8% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 31, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 1, 2014.

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

The City's counter on Donlea Dr between Hanna Rd and Rumsey Rd (245 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave E (93 m away, 50 km/h limit), 2.3% of the 27,589 vehicles logged in June 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

22 registered apartment buildings with 1,244 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 1833 Bayview Ave (357 m, 112 units, 4 storeys, built 1965), which scored 90 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

22 registered buildings · 1,244 units · tallest 12 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 16 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 2.4 a year before that. 94% of the bike thefts were from school or campus property.

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 Leaside-Bennington.
