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 · Apr 15, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 5,108 westbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 60. Most cyclists arrived from the west (449 of 945). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,035 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,015 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
