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 — 8-hour, May 10, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 5,531 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 112. Most cyclists arrived from the west (187 of 365). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,561 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,328). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Willard Ave between Lane N of Bloor and W of Windermere and Grassmere Rd (190 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. Bloor St W between Durie St and Windermere Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Jane St (238 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 552 vehicles logged in June 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 22, 2008.

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

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
