Mount Pleasant & Keewatin

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 11, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,259 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 316 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,922 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,970 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,922 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,970 from 4:15 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 7 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 22, 2011.

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 Mount Pleasant Rd between Sherwood Ave and Sheldrake Blvd, 198 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2014 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Keewatin Ave (94 m away, 30 km/h limit), 7.1% of the 35,393 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Speed sign

Keewatin Ave (westbound), 94 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 26 km/h, 85th percentile 36 km/h; 7.1% at 40 km/h or more. 35,393 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 69 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 8,734 rental units, 4.6× the median for a Toronto intersection — eight social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1000 Mount Pleasant Rd (57 m, 155 units, 13 storeys, built 2010), which scored 99 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

69 registered buildings · 8,734 units · 8 social housing · tallest 39 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.

Ten thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 0.7 a year before that. 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 Mount Pleasant East.
