Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. 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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 23, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,341 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 752 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (771 of 1,508). Evening rush dominates here: 1,216 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 1,097 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On Bloor St W between Durie St and Windermere Ave, 385 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,800 vehicles a day. Kennedy Ave between Deforest Rd and Bloor St W measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Runnymede Rd (339 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.0% of the 50,493 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 9 speed humps slow traffic on Kennedy Avenue between Morningside Ave and Bloor St W.

9 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2024, with 16 collisions; 2025 recorded 13. 13 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 35 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 34% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 18, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
By year

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest May 18, 2017 |
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
