Medland & Hillsview

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 2, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 79 and 96 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 49 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 34 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.3% 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 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: 34 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 49 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

The worst year was 2016, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 0 collisions (0%) 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. The most recent report on file is from Feb 21, 2025.

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 Hillsview Ave between Mavety St and Medland Cres, 69 m from the corner, a 7-day count in May 2001 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Medland Cres between Hillsview Ave and Lane S of Humberside and W of Medland Cres measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Sep 2014) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Mountainview Ave (318 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 8,452 vehicles logged in May 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.

Within a kilometre there are 30 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 4,951 rental units, 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection — six social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 205 Keele St (317 m, 42 units, 4 storeys, built 1958), which scored 88 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 30 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

30 registered buildings · 4,951 units · 6 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.

Two thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the bike thefts were from other premises.

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 High Park North.
