Grenview & Bloor

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 23, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 7,807 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 491. Most cyclists arrived from the west (291 of 578). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,250 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,323 from 6:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,250 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,323 from 6:15 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

2017 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The last one inside the window was in 2016. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Sep 15, 2026.

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

The City's counter on Grenview Blvd S between Meadowvale Dr and Bermuda Ave (152 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day.

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.

Ten registered apartment buildings with 208 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 2846 Bloor St W (332 m, 16 units, 4 storeys, built 1955), which scored 95 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

10 registered buildings · 208 units · tallest 4 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 three thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 0.9 a year before that. 57% of the bike thefts were from transit property. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 29, 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 Stonegate-Queensway.
