Traffic volume14-hour count · Aug 15, 2026 · weekend

The north leg carries the load — 3,481 southbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 56. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 853 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 p.m., 53% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (559). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 559 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 853 from 7:00 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

2019 was the peak year (10 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 16, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Nov 4, 2020.

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 Mill St between Trinity St and Cherry St (101 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Cherry St between Lower Don River Trl and Distillery Lane measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Aug 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

18 registered apartment buildings with 2,482 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 14 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 131 Mill St (44 m, 230 units, 15 storeys, built 2022), which scored 99 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

18 registered buildings · 2,482 units · 14 social housing · tallest 26 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 15 thefts from vehicles and 36 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 8.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 5.1 a year. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 47% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands.
