Eglinton & Old Forest Hill

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 13, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 11,924 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,592. Most cyclists arrived from the west (34 of 84). Morning rush is the busier period: 2,305 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 1,948 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 2,305 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,948 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

55 registered apartment buildings with 3,710 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 117 Old Forest Hill Rd (36 m, 28 units, 3 storeys, built 1950), which scored 98 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 55 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

55 registered buildings · 3,710 units · 4 social housing · tallest 11 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 five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 60% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 Forest Hill South.
