Woodbine & Strathmore

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 24, 2013

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,957 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 373 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the east (62 of 105). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,265 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,188 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% 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 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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: 1,265 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,188 from 4:30 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 2017, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 6 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 11, 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 Oct 31, 2015.

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

On Woodbine Ave between Merrill Ave E and Mendel Ave, 310 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2017 put the average speed at 55 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Strathmore Blvd between Woodmount Ave and Woodbine Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Jun 2004). At the school-zone speed sign on Wolverleigh Blvd (179 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 9,233 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 9 speed humps slow traffic on Strathmore Boulevard between Coxwell Ave and Woodbine Ave (installed 2006).

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 nine RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 552 rental units — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1017 Woodbine Ave (89 m, 59 units, 6 storeys, built 1970), which scored 97 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

9 registered buildings · 552 units · 4 social housing · tallest 7 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 18 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 2.9 a year before that. 67% of the bike thefts were from transit property.

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 Danforth East York.
