Redpath & Erskine

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 24, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,063 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 809. Morning rush is the busier period: 445 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 391 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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: 445 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 391 from 4:30 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 (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 11. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 24 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 27% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 18, 2026.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Erskine Ave between Redpath Avenue Parkette Trl and Mount Pleasant Rd (130 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 4,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Redpath Ave between Broadway Ave and Erskine Ave measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Sep 2017). At the school-zone speed sign on Keewatin Ave (190 m away, 30 km/h limit), 7.1% of the 35,393 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.

85 registered apartment buildings with 12,433 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 11 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 5.7× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 133 Erskine Ave (47 m, 28 units, 11 storeys, built 1970), which scored 93 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

85 registered buildings · 12,433 units · 11 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.

Toronto Police place 40 thefts from vehicles and 28 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 11× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 6.8 a year. 70% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 57% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 4 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 14, 2026.

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 North Toronto.
