Pape & Donlands

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 30, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,868 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,784. Most cyclists arrived from the north (448 of 939). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,282 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,921). Trucks and buses were 6.3% 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 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,921 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,282 from 4:15 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

2022 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 34% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 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 Nov 24, 2014. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places them just outside the 65 m radius.

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 Donlands Ave between Warland Ave and Chilton Rd (139 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 13,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Ten registered apartment buildings with 544 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 1311 Pape Ave (334 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1870). None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

10 registered buildings · 544 units · tallest 12 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.
