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 · May 27, 2026
The east leg carries the load — 17,234 westbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,250. Most cyclists arrived from the west (98 of 183).
