Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 4, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 16,111 northbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 612. Most cyclists arrived from the north (92 of 158). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,548 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,552 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Bathurst St between Heathdale Rd and Ridgewood Rd (72 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 15,800 vehicles a day. Heathdale Rd between Bathurst St and Raglan Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Jun 2023). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Heathdale Rd · Bathurst St – Raglan Ave · 51 mJun 2023 · 3 days1,91728 km/h34 km/h38 km/h
Bathurst St · Heathdale Rd – Ridgewood Rd · 72 mSep 2018 · 24 h15,77851 km/h58 km/h63 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
