Sudbury & Dovercourt

Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 29, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,983 northbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,049. Most cyclists arrived from the south (285 of 628). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 474 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 p.m., 69% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (280). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 280 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 474 from 7:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

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.

12 registered apartment buildings with 1,908 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 45 Lisgar St (143 m, 291 units, 14 storeys, built 2010), which scored 91 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 12 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

12 registered buildings · 1,908 units · 4 social housing · tallest 35 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 ten thefts from vehicles and 21 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 3.7 a year before that. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 West Queen West.
