Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 25, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 642 southbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 233. Morning rush is the busier period: 232 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 175 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 232 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 175 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).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.

91 registered apartment buildings with 4,143 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 12 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 6.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 105 Kenwood Ave (35 m, 31 units, 4 storeys, built 1950), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

91 registered buildings · 4,143 units · 12 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.

Toronto Police place 11 thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 45% of the vehicle thefts were from other premises.

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 Humewood-Cedarvale.
