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 26, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,102 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 9,051 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the east (68 of 169). Evening rush dominates here: 3,695 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 3,023 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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 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 Eglinton Ave W between Black Creek Dr and Keelesdale Dr, 36 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2024 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,600 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave W · Black Creek Dr – Keelesdale Dr · 36 mNov 2024 · 24 h24,58842 km/h55 km/h63 km/h

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.
