Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 22, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 1,206 southbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 389. Most cyclists arrived from the north (140 of 293). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 275 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (233). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 71% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
