Greenwood & Gerrard

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 8, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 4,914 westbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3,399. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,642 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,683 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 1,642 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,683 from 5:30 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

2017 was the peak year (15 collisions), and 2025 closed with 12. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 9, 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 May 14, 2015.

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 Greenwood Ave between Dundas St E and Athletic Ave (277 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 8,200 vehicles a day.

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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 560 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1320 Gerrard St E (183 m, 45 units, 5 storeys, built 1994), which scored 96 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

11 registered buildings · 560 units · 6 social housing · tallest 8 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 12 thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 2.1 a year before that. 75% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike 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 South Riverdale.
