Clendenan & Dundas (West)

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2023

The west leg carries the load — 4,898 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 164. Most cyclists arrived from the west (32 of 70). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,541 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,537 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,541 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,537 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.

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.

Six registered apartment buildings with 230 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 340 High Park Ave (255 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1940), which scored 88 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 6 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

6 registered buildings · 230 units · 1 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.

Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Junction Area.
