Kennedy & Transway

Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 19, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 9,711 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 259. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,687 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,748 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,687 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,748 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

2019 was the peak year (10 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 30% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jul 31, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.

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.

38 registered apartment buildings with 3,035 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 720 Kennedy Rd (195 m, 186 units, 14 storeys, built 1965), which scored 89 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

38 registered buildings · 3,035 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 four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Kennedy Park.
