Nantucket Blvd & Wickware Gt

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 3, 2010

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 721 southbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 372. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 288 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 59% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (181). Trucks and buses were 21.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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: 181 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 288 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

2024 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 20, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 21, 2021.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2010

The City's counter on Nantucket Blvd between Wickware Gt and Munham Gt (349 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

One registered apartment building with 26 rental units stands within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 2260 Lawrence Ave E (1.0 km, 26 units, 5 storeys, built 1960), which scored 93 out of 100 at its September 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation.

1 registered building · 26 units · tallest 5 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 18 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 9 in 2023–2025, about 3.0 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 50% 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 Dorset Park.
