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 18, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,324 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 1 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,973 of 4,080). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,222 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,292 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years 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 Manning Ave and Clinton St, 183 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,200 vehicles a day. Grace St between Bickford Park Trl and Lane S of Bloor and W of Grace measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 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 (314 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. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Grace Street between Bloor St W and Harbord St (installed 2002).

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. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Feb 11, 2010.

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
