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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 21, 2022

The east leg carries the load — 6,579 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 263. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,140 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,935). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Bloor St W between Kipling Ave and Prennan Ave (176 m away, Sep 2013) recorded volume only — about 16,171 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bloor St W · Kipling Ave – Prennan Ave · 176 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
