O'Connor & Rivercourt

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 1, 2010

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,520 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 37 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,155 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 869 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 13.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 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: 869 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,155 from 5:00 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 1 collision. 1 collision (33%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (33%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 16, 2026.

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 Jun 12, 2013.

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 2021

On O'Connor Dr between Warland Ave and Wolverton Ave, 216 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2018 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. 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. Rivercourt Blvd between Lane N of O Connor and E of Rivercourt and Pape Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Dec 2021). 5 speed humps slow traffic on Rivercourt Boulevard between O'Connor Dr and Pape Ave.

Traffic calming

Rivercourt Boulevard (O'Connor Dr – Pape Ave): 5 speed humps

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 59 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,757 rental units, 3.9× the median for a Toronto intersection — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1311 Pape Ave (377 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1870). One building of the 59 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

59 registered buildings · 3,757 units · 3 social housing · tallest 17 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.

One theft from a vehicle and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 5, 2026.

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.
