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, Jan 18, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,098 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 110 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (353 of 626). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,097 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,091 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Bloor St W between Westmoreland Ave and Rusholme Rd, 178 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,000 vehicles a day. Bartlett Ave between Boilermaker Lane and Shanly St measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Dec 2021). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 9 speed humps slow traffic on Bartlett Avenue between Bloor St W and Hallam St.

Traffic calming

    9 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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

Ten thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 70% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
