Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 9, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 3,582 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 340. Most cyclists arrived from the east (282 of 569). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 714 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 702 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
