Traffic volume8-hour count · May 25, 2000

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 599 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 133 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 490 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 115% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (228). Trucks and buses were 10.3% 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 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2000, 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: 490 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 228 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 worst year was 2018, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 2 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 2, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Ontario Dr between Lake Shore Blvd W and Prince Edward Island Cres (223 m away, Jun 1998) recorded volume only — about 2,369 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

Not within a walk: a grocery store, a pharmacy, a community centre, a school, licensed child care, a library, a public washroom or a care or retirement home.

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 five RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 552 rental units. The nearest is 1 Springhurst Ave (708 m, 41 units, 5 storeys, built 1962), which scored 98 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

5 registered buildings · 552 units · tallest 14 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.

Ten thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 4 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 26, 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 Fort York-Liberty Village.
