Ookwemin & Villiers

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 25, 2004

The north leg carries the load — 2,162 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 58. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 640 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 34% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (478). Trucks and buses were 28.9% 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 22 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2004, 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: 478 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 640 from 2:00 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

2019 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). The most recent report on file is from Dec 4, 2025.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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 Ookwemin St between Villiers St and Bascule Bdge (39 m away, Jun 2011) recorded volume only — about 4,858 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.

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.

Five registered apartment buildings with 1,154 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 131 Mill St (611 m, 230 units, 15 storeys, built 2022), which scored 99 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 99, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

5 registered buildings · 1,154 units · 1 social housing · tallest 26 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 two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 South Riverdale.
