Keele & Glenlake

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 1, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 5,088 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 628. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,561 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,641 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 1,561 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,641 from 4:45 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

2024 was the peak year (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 23% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 2026.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Glenlake Ave between Oakmount Rd and Pacific Ave (255 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Mountainview Ave (97 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.

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.

37 registered apartment buildings with 6,658 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 205 Keele St (180 m, 42 units, 4 storeys, built 1958), which scored 88 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 37 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

37 registered buildings · 6,658 units · 7 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.

Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Mar 20, 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.
