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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Mar 25, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 9,144 eastbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 98. Most cyclists arrived from the west (42 of 88). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,598 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,597 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

2019 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 3% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Feb 8, 2009.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place eight thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 0.7 a year before that. 38% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
