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 — 14-hour, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,421 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 279 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,215 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 1,277 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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 Bernadine St between Cora Cres and Doerr Rd, 124 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. Applefield Dr between Birkdale Ravine Trl and Brimley Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jun 2026). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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

13 thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
