Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,252 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 2 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (104 of 228). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 909 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 26% above the afternoon peak from 6:45 p.m. (719). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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

Ten thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 70% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
