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, Nov 9, 2025 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 6,979 westbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3,266. Most cyclists arrived from the west (259 of 601). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,583 vehicles in the hour from 6:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. (1,403). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 counter on Church St between Collier St and Yonge St (361 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 15,100 vehicles a day. Bloor St E between Church St and St Paul's Sq measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Aug 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Mt. Pleasant Rd (394 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 2,214 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
