O'Connor & Pepler

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 15, 2007

The east leg carries the load — 4,205 westbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 106. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,131 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,120 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 1,131 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,120 from 4:30 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

2021 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 33% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 17% of collisions here. The most recent report on file is from Dec 20, 2025.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Dec 11, 2024.

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 2018

The City's counter on O'Connor Dr between Warland Ave and Wolverton Ave (302 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 33,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Pepler Ave between Lane N of O Connor and E of Pepler and Pape Ave measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jun 2004).

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.

61 registered apartment buildings with 4,107 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 4.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 1311 Pape Ave (291 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1870). One building of the 61 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

61 registered buildings · 4,107 units · 1 social housing · tallest 22 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 one theft from a vehicle and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Old East York.
