Jameson & Leopold

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 30, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,502 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 8 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 646 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 643 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 646 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 643 from 5:00 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

The worst year was 2016, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 2 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 38% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 25, 2016.

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 103 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 7,411 rental units, 6.9× the median for a Toronto intersection — 18 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 182 Jameson Ave (38 m, 82 units, 11 storeys, built 1965), which scored 85 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

103 registered buildings · 7,411 units · 18 social housing · tallest 23 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.

Seven 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. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 8, 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 South Parkdale.
