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 — 8-hour, Oct 18, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 1,467 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 255. Most cyclists arrived from the north (345 of 588). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 428 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 436 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Beverley St between Stephanie St and Sullivan St (59 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 8,100 vehicles a day. Phoebe St between Beverley St and Soho Sq measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Apr 2019). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bulwer St (231 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 4,378 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Phoebe Street between Beverley St and Huron St.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 14 thefts from vehicles and 12 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
