Kennedy & Progress

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 30, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 13,066 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,380. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,803 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (3,263). Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 3,263 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,803 from 4:30 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 (85 collisions), and 2025 closed with 72. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 87 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 52 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Nov 25, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 7.

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 Progress Ave between William Kitchen Rd and Midland Ave (346 m away, Sep 2022) recorded volume only — about 23,031 vehicles a day — with no speed data. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Glamorgan Avenue between Kennedy Rd and Dundalk Dr (installed 2025).

Traffic calming

Glamorgan Avenue (Kennedy Rd – Dundalk Dr): 4 speed humps (installed 2025)

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 1,562 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 3 Glamorgan Ave (156 m, 139 units, 10 storeys, built 1984), which scored 83 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

10 registered buildings · 1,562 units · 2 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.

Toronto Police place 22 thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.5 a year. 73% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Dorset Park.
