Jane & Beverly Hills

Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 16, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 14,577 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 1,455 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (69 of 163). Evening rush dominates here: 2,861 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 2,418 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,418 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,861 from 3:15 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 2017, with 36 collisions; 2025 recorded 35. 40 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 77 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 27% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 17 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 23 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.

Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Feb 7, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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 41 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,676 rental units, 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1537 Wilson Ave (360 m, 42 units, 4 storeys, built 1960), which scored 93 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

41 registered buildings · 2,676 units · 4 social housing · tallest 28 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.

27 thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 13 in 2023–2025, about 4.3 a year, against 2.9 a year before that. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 26, 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 Oakdale-Beverley Heights.
