Emdaabiimok & Eastern

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 8, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 6,242 westbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,628. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,654 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,318). Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,318 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,654 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2018 was the peak year (31 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 18, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on May 22, 2021.

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

The City's counter on Eastern Ave between Emdaabiimok Ave and Woodbine Park Trl (82 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 6,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

26 registered apartment buildings with 732 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, ten of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1080 Eastern Ave (42 m, 41 units, 6 storeys, built 1965), which scored 97 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

26 registered buildings · 732 units · 10 social housing · tallest 6 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 one theft from a vehicle and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 9, 2026.

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 The Beaches.
