Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 19, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 13,530 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 3,811 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the south (258 of 571). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,894 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,861 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 10.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,894 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,861 from 2:00 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 2023, with 65 collisions; 2025 recorded 33. 55 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 55 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 17 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 22 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Lake Shore Blvd E between Lower Jarvis Gardiner Ramp and Cherry St, 203 m from the corner, a 5-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Parliament St between Distillery Lane and Gristmill Lane measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Apr 2025).

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.

Within a kilometre there are 16 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,500 rental units — 11 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 33 Hahn Pl (491 m, 135 units, 8 storeys, built 1980), which scored 84 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

16 registered buildings · 2,500 units · 11 social housing · tallest 16 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.

14 thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 93% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands.
