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, Oct 2, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 6,360 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 145. Most cyclists arrived from the west (2,746 of 5,465). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,134 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,164 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 23 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

The City's counter on Bloor St W between Manning Ave and Clinton St (47 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 10,200 vehicles a day. Clinton St between Harbord St and Page St measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Manning Ave (229 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 44,756 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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.
