Kipling & Bloor

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 11, 2025

No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 8,668 and 10,529 vehicles. Most cyclists arrived from the east (107 of 256). Evening rush dominates here: 3,798 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,452 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 3,452 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,798 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

The worst year was 2019, with 63 collisions; 2025 recorded 19. 51 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 30 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 23, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 18, 2018.

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 Kipling Ave between Dundas St W and Bloor St W (21 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 15,005 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 eight RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,741 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 3 Summerland Ter (332 m, 283 units, 26 storeys, built 2012), which scored 100 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 94, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

8 registered buildings · 1,741 units · 2 social housing · tallest 41 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.

One theft from a vehicle and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the bike 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 Islington.
