Wilson & Transit

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 24, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 12,360 westbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 6,369. Most cyclists arrived from the west (66 of 153). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,197 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 30% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (2,462). Trucks and buses were 6.0% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,462 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,197 from 4:15 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 83 collisions. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 104 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 42 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 6, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 26, 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 counter on Billy Bishop Way between Wilson Ave and Dufferin St (270 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 9,700 vehicles a day.

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.

25 registered apartment buildings with 1,087 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2 Faywood Blvd (584 m, 40 units, 3 storeys, built 1989), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

25 registered buildings · 1,087 units · 3 social housing · tallest 17 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 44 thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 7.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 4.6 a year. 77% 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 Clanton Park.
