Leslie & Old Cummer

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 22, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 5,202 southbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 18. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,587 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,531 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 1,587 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,531 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 11 collisions. 4% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 36% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 19, 2026.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Leslie St between Finch Ave E and Tree Sparroway (366 m away, Oct 2014) recorded volume only — about 12,178 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.

Not within a walk: a public washroom or a care or retirement home.

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.

Ten registered apartment buildings with 160 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, all of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2 Tree Sparroway (315 m, 16 units, 4 storeys, built 1973), which scored 80 out of 100 at its September 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

10 registered buildings · 160 units · 10 social housing · tallest 4 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 eight thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% 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 Hillcrest Village.
