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, Oct 19, 2024 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,210 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 518 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (61 of 129). Evening rush dominates here: 2,065 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,370 in the morning peak from 9:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 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

That segment carries about 25,100 vehicles a day. Scarden Ave between Corundum Cres and Tourmaline Dr measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Sep 2005). 8 speed humps slow traffic on Scarden Avenue between Arkona Dr and Birchmount Rd.

Traffic calming
- Scarden Avenue · Arkona Dr – Birchmount Rd
8 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.
