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, Jun 29, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,100 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 214 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (671 of 1,328). Evening rush dominates here: 1,146 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 896 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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

On Bloor St W between Westmoreland Ave and Rusholme Rd, 331 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,000 vehicles a day. Concord Ave between Hepbourne St and Lane S of Bloor and W of Ossington measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jan 2020). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Concord Ave · Hepbourne St – Lane S of Bloor and W of Ossington · 153 mJan 2020 · 2 days16029 km/h39 km/h45 km/h
Bloor St W · Westmoreland Ave – Rusholme Rd · 331 mJun 2022 · 7 days10,98933 km/h43 km/h49 km/h

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

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 29, 2011.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

25 thefts from vehicles and nine bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 4.3 a year before that. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 56% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 26, 2026.
