Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 14, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 10,630 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 5,614 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,855 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,786 from 6:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor.

Peak hours: 1,855 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,786 from 6:15 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 worst year was 2017, with 34 collisions; 2025 recorded 28. 37 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 29 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 19 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 19 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 18, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The last one inside the window was in 2016. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 cyclist involved), the latest on Mar 15, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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.

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.

39 registered buildings · 2,975 units · 7 social housing · tallest 18 storeys.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

24 thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.9 a year. 83% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from transit property.

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 Oakwood Village.
