Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2019, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 8 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 36% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (16%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 19, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Mar 26, 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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Scott St between Wellington St E and Victoria St (118 m away, Sep 2020) recorded volume only — about 375 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.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Six thefts from vehicles and 11 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto 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 St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands.
