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 — 8-hour, Sep 11, 2003

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,669 eastbound vehicles, or 65% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 887. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,257 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 1,029 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, 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.

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 most recent midblock count on Beamish Dr between Bloor St W and Dundas St W (67 m away, Sep 2007) recorded volume only — about 2,661 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Beamish Dr · Bloor St W – Dundas St W · 67 mSep 2007 · 3 days2,661
Bloor St W · Kipling Ave – Prennan Ave · 107 mSep 2013 · 11 days16,171

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.
