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 24, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 6,909 northbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 9. Most cyclists arrived from the south (654 of 1,289). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,075 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 1,129 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% 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 Stewart St between Portland St and Bathurst St (109 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bathurst St · Stewart St – King St W · 43 mMay 2015 · 7 days9,852
Stewart St · Portland St – Bathurst St · 109 mNov 2022 · 3 days1,30626 km/h37 km/h43 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.
