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 — 14-hour, Jun 11, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,327 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 705 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (347 of 660). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,535 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,459 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 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 Bloor St W between Cosmo Rd and Tom Riley Park Trl, 310 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,700 vehicles a day. Brentwood Rd N between Wilgar Rd and Belvedere Blvd measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 30 km/h (Apr 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Montgomery Rd (276 m away, 40 km/h limit), 7.0% of the 53,884 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
