Progress & Milner

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 30, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,577 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 2,917 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,776 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (2,431). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,776 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,431 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 2019, with 29 collisions; 2025 recorded 10. 33 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 30 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 20 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 13, 2025.

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 2006

On Progress Ave between Rosebank Dr and Orchid Place Dr, 310 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2005 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Milner Ave between Novopharm Crt and Dailing Gt measured slower: 48 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 59 km/h (Nov 2006).

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.

Within a kilometre there are three RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 364 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 30 Kimbercroft Crt (459 m, 94 units, 8 storeys, built 1980), which scored 90 out of 100 at its October 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 94, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

3 registered buildings · 364 units · 1 social housing · tallest 10 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.
