Glenburn & St Clair

Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 25, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,243 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 245 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,558 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,577 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,558 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,577 from 5:15 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.

Within a kilometre there are 34 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,445 rental units, 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2922 St Clair Ave E (148 m, 16 units, 4 storeys, built 1956), which scored 93 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

34 registered buildings · 1,445 units · 1 social housing · tallest 14 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.

Two thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner 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 O'Connor-Parkview.
