Fort York & Fleet

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 28, 2011

The south leg carries the load — 2,591 northbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 973. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,309 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,163). Trucks and buses were 8.2% 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 1,163 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,309 from 4:45 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

2019 was the peak year (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% 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 Jul 28, 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 Jun 5, 2011.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Fort York Blvd between Fleet St and Lake Shore Blvd W (52 m away, Dec 2011) recorded volume only — about 5,856 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

Six registered apartment buildings with 1,269 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 25 Ordnance St (591 m, 333 units, 31 storeys, built 2021), which scored 100 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 95, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

6 registered buildings · 1,269 units · 3 social housing · tallest 31 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 three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Fort York-Liberty Village.
