Woodbine & Mortimer

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 8, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,850 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 4,209 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (264 of 632). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,885 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,910 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,885 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,910 from 5:00 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 worst year was 2019, with 17 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 23 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 28, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on Nov 13, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Woodbine Ave between Lane N of Mortimer and W of Woodbine and Dunkirk Rd (36 m away, Dec 2014) recorded volume only — about 10,762 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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 five RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 513 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 831 Cosburn Ave (522 m, 11 units, 3 storeys, built 1950), which scored 81 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

5 registered buildings · 513 units · 1 social housing · tallest 20 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and four 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 Woodbine-Lumsden.
