Old Park & Wembley

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 13, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 1,687 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 263. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 398 vehicles in the hour from 3:30 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (349). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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: 349 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 398 from 3:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

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.

35 registered apartment buildings with 2,224 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 989 Eglinton Ave W (178 m, 146 units, 7 storeys, built 1980), which scored 91 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

35 registered buildings · 2,224 units · 4 social housing · tallest 18 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 one bicycle theft 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 Forest Hill North.
