Bloor & Kennedy Park

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 23, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 5,965 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 150. Most cyclists arrived from the west (31 of 50). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,949 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,661). Trucks and buses were 8.9% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 1,661 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,949 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

2019 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 7% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 7% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Mar 7, 2017.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2019

The City's counter on Bloor St W between Quebec Ave and High Park Trl (361 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 2-day count in May 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 56 km/h. That segment carries about 17,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Kennedy Park Rd between Bloor St W and Kennedy - Margdon Parkette Trl measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2019) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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 3,414 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2001 Bloor St W (45 m, 60 units, 4 storeys, built 1930), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

25 registered buildings · 3,414 units · 1 social housing · tallest 26 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 no thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 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 High Park-Swansea.
