Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 22, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 2,217 westbound vehicles, or 77% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 325. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,060 of 2,077). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 300 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 280 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
