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, Jul 14, 2026
The west leg carries the load — 4,419 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 452. Most cyclists arrived from the west (166 of 343). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 795 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 814 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Cosburn Ave between Fairside Ave and Binswood Ave (125 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 9,000 vehicles a day. Binswood Ave between Cosburn Ave and Plains Rd measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Nov 2003). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Cosburn Ave (234 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.0% of the 61,815 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Binswood Avenue between O'Connor Dr and Cosburn Ave.

4 speed humps
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
