Eglinton & Mayfair

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 1, 2017

The east leg carries the load — 4,894 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,336 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,308 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 17.7% 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 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 1,336 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,308 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

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.

51 registered apartment buildings with 3,486 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.4× the median for a Toronto intersection.

One building of the 51 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

51 registered buildings · 3,486 units · 4 social housing · tallest 11 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 eight thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 63% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Forest Hill South.
