Marlee & Viewmount

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 15, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,633 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 59 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (54 of 112). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,425 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,379 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.5% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 1,425 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,379 from 4:45 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 2016, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 7 collisions (22%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (19%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. The most recent report on file is from Nov 21, 2024.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 9, 2010.

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 Viewmount Ave between Shermount Ave and Viewmount Park Trl, 366 m from the corner, a 3-day count in January 2020 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Marlee Ave between Glencairn Ave and Glen Park Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Nov 2022). At the school-zone speed sign on Danesbury Ave (243 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 20,625 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

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.

22 registered buildings · 2,169 units · 2 social housing · tallest 28 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.

Two thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Yorkdale-Glen Park.
