Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 12, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 27,487 eastbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 16,010. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,801 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,938 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 3,801 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,938 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

2024 was the peak year (91 collisions), and 2025 closed with 86. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 70 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 0% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 39 more collisions have been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The last one inside the window was in 2022. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here — it was fatal (1 motorcyclist involved), the latest on Sep 27, 2026. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places them just outside the 65 m radius.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Lake Shore Blvd W between Oarsman Dr and Gardiner Lakeshore E (392 m away, May 2011) recorded volume only — about 28,357 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

28 registered apartment buildings with 2,360 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 79 Jameson Ave (611 m, 121 units, 7 storeys, built 1962), which scored 95 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

28 registered buildings · 2,360 units · 2 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 two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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.
