West Deane Park & Beaver Bend

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 19, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 295 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 133. Morning rush is the busier period: 236 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 96 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.3% 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 236 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 96 from 4:45 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

2024 was the peak year (1 collision), and 2025 closed with 0. 33% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from May 14, 2026.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2021

The City's counter on West Deane Park Dr between Amberwood Rd and Beaver Bend Cres (59 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 2-day count in March 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Beaver Bend Cres between West Deane Park Dr and Sedgebrook Cres measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Nov 2021).

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.

One registered apartment building with 33 rental units stands within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 1 Rabbit Lane (377 m, 33 units, 7 storeys, built 1970), which scored 77 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

1 registered building · 33 units · tallest 7 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 nine thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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.
