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, Nov 19, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,519 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 262 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (43 of 81). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,079 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 16% above the afternoon peak from 3:30 p.m. (1,791). Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On St Cuthberts Rd between Bayview Ave and Berney Cres, 89 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2015 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. Balliol St between Cleveland St and Lane W of Bayview and S of Davisville measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jun 2002). The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.
