Kendal & Davenport

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 9, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,873 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,984 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (39 of 86). Evening rush dominates here: 1,661 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 1,048 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,048 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,661 from 3:00 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 worst year was 2024, with 17 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 11 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 15, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 19, 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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Davenport Rd between Spadina Rd and Walmer Rd (145 m away, Jan 2019) recorded volume only — about 9,646 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 18 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,134 rental units — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 155 Kendal Ave (94 m, 59 units, 5 storeys, built 1992), which scored 96 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 18 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

18 registered buildings · 1,134 units · 3 social housing · tallest 23 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 83% of the bike thefts were from school or campus property. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 10, 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 Casa Loma.
