Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 15, 2022
The north leg carries the load — 1,854 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 8. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 737 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (538). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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: 538 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 737 from 4:30 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 (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 4, 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.

Within a walk
What the City's own records put within a walk of this corner — distances are the walk along real streets and paths. Shops, banks, gyms and clinics are in no City dataset, so they are not here.
Food, shops and services
Food premises Toronto Public Health has inspected since November 2023, screened by name and location to leave out the kitchens inside care homes, child care, schools and offices, and carts and stalls; a shop without a recent inspection does not appear. Pharmacies, hospital sites and care homes from the Ontario Ministry of Health's register — a hospital site may be a rehabilitation or specialty hospital without an emergency department; in an emergency call 911.

The median Toronto intersection scores 48. It counts what can be reached, not how pleasant or safe the walk is.
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.
