The latest City count averages about 1,120 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.0 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 5.4% of vehicle volume, about 6.9× the typical share. That comes with about 10 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 6.4 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 31%, from 59 in 2016–2020 to 41 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 100 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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 calming

  • Windermere Avenue · Bloor St W – Annette St
    7 speed humps

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.
