The latest City count averages about 170 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 15% of the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 1.1 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 31.4% of vehicle volume, about 40× the typical share. That comes with about 0.5 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — well below the median of 31 for the decade. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. 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 volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Aug 18, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 1,525 northbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 128. Most cyclists arrived from the south (367 of 759). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 231 vehicles in the hour from 6:30 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (204). Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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
