Redpath & Eglinton

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 31, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,180 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 1,301 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,118 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 886 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 10.1% 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 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 886 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,118 from 4:00 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 2024, with 21 collisions; 2025 recorded 16. 18 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 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 Jun 15, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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 94 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 12,930 rental units, 6.3× the median for a Toronto intersection — ten social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 196 Eglinton Ave E (67 m, 24 units, 4 storeys, built 1930), which scored 80 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 94 scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

94 registered buildings · 12,930 units · 10 social housing · tallest 39 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.

11 thefts from vehicles and 24 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 4.3 a year before that. 82% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 58% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 Eglinton-Davisville.
