Wilson & Allard

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 3, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,621 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 440 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,952 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,626 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

Peak hours: 1,626 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,952 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 7 collisions. 7 collisions (25%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 5, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 21, 2014.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's most recent midblock count on Wilson Ave between Allard Ave and Bathurst St (282 m away, May 2017) recorded volume only — about 11,406 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Carmichael Ave (263 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 8,020 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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 40 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,905 rental units, 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 225 Wilson Ave (151 m, 20 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 98 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 94, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

40 registered buildings · 1,905 units · 3 social housing · tallest 19 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.

Four 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.

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 Bedford Park-Nortown.
