The East Mall & Eglinton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 26, 2024 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,920 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,274 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (121 of 124). Evening rush dominates here: 1,362 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,027 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,027 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,362 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on The East Mall between Walkway N of West Deane Valley and E of the East Mall and Eglinton Ave West Trl (195 m away, Apr 2010) recorded volume only — about 6,327 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

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.

Within a kilometre there are four RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 822 rental units. The nearest is 620 Martin Grove Rd (674 m, 236 units, 22 storeys, built 2011), which scored 95 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 94, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

4 registered buildings · 822 units · tallest 22 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.

Five thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Eringate-Centennial-West Deane.
