Glenlake & High Park

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 28, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,713 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 1,095 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 586 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 621 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 586 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 621 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 7 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (12%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On High Park Ave between Bloor St W and Glenlake Ave, 213 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Glenlake Ave between Oakmount Rd and Pacific Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Mar 2017). At the school-zone speed sign on Mountainview Ave (364 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 8,452 vehicles logged in May 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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 30 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 4,983 rental units, 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 95 High Park Ave (72 m, 217 units, 15 storeys, built 1969), which scored 98 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

30 registered buildings · 4,983 units · 4 social housing · tallest 30 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.

13 thefts from vehicles and 11 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 2.9 a year before that. 62% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 82% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 1, 2026.

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 North.
