Indian & Ridout

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 20, 2018

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 896 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 61% of the total, against 145 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 320 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 37% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (233). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 320 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 233 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

Within a kilometre there are 28 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,694 rental units — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1709 Bloor St W (264 m, 80 units, 6 storeys, built 1992), which scored 99 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

28 registered buildings · 3,694 units · 4 social housing · tallest 29 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 18, 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 High Park-Swansea.
