Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,510 vehicles, 1.31× the median counted intersection.

Cyclists were 16.9% of vehicle volume, about 22× the typical share. That comes with about 30 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 14.1 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 2.9× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 23%, from 169 in 2016–2020 to 130 in 2021–2025. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 25, 2025

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 5,086 vehicles entering from the east to 5,456 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,500 of 3,566). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,738 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,617 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Lansdowne Ave between Lane 2 S of Bloor and E of Lansdowne and Lane S of Bloor and W of Lansdowne (221 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 7-day count in September 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 11,900 vehicles a day. Bloor St W between St Clarens Ave and Lansdowne Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Apr 2026).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

2019 was the peak year (51 collisions), and 2025 closed with 22. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 40 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Apr 28, 2013.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.5× 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 1.3 a year before that. 86% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 75% of the bike 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.
