Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 11, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 18,830 westbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 6,317. Most cyclists arrived from the east (2,435 of 4,761). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,825 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,651 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 2,825 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,651 from 5:45 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 33 collisions. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 22 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 10, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 28, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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.

46 registered apartment buildings with 10,072 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 99 Howard St (139 m, 239 units, 15 storeys, built 1964), which scored 95 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 46 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

46 registered buildings · 10,072 units · 6 social housing · tallest 51 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 one theft from a vehicle and two bicycle thefts 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 Cabbagetown-South St.James Town.
