Medland & Annette (East)

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 5, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,337 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 147 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (652 of 1,294). Evening rush dominates here: 1,103 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:00 p.m., against 867 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 867 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,103 from 6:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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

On Medland St between Annette St and Lane S of Dundas and W of Mavety, 91 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2009 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Annette St between Mavety St and Medland St measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Jun 2022) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Annette St (392 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 133,907 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

17 registered buildings · 2,781 units · 3 social housing · tallest 30 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.

Five thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% 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 Junction Area.
