Logan & First

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 17, 2007

The south leg carries the load — 844 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 34. Most cyclists arrived from the south (80 of 164). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 313 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 69% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (185). Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 185 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 313 from 4:00 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

2024 was the peak year (1 collision), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 16, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Logan Ave between Lane N of Dundas and W of Logan and First Ave (75 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 4,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. First Ave between de Grassi St and West Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Jul 2014). At the school-zone speed sign on 722 Gerrard St East (255 m away, 40 km/h limit), 2.7% of the 25,028 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 3 speed humps slow traffic on First Avenue between De Grassi St and Logan Ave.

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.

Seven registered apartment buildings with 423 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 793 Gerrard St E (100 m, 28 units, 5 storeys, built 1950), which scored 83 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 7 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

7 registered buildings · 423 units · 5 social housing · tallest 22 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 six thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts 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 South Riverdale.
