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, Mar 20, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,031 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 824 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,719 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,314 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years 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
On Gerrard St E between Rathmore Ave and Clonmore Dr, 383 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2025 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,500 vehicles a day. Blantyre Ave between Parkland Rd and Swanwick Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2020). At the school-zone speed sign on Blantyre Ave (166 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 32,644 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Blantyre Ave (southbound), 294 Blantyre Avenue · 32,644 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. The most recent was on Feb 20, 2024.

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.
