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: 9,723 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 311 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,155 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 1,292 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.

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 Brimorton Dr between Doerr Rd and Jackmuir Cres, 208 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2019 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 61 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,200 vehicles a day. Waterfield Dr between Stokewell Pl and Tordale Cres measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Oct 2007). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Brimorton Dr · Doerr Rd – Jackmuir Cres · 208 mOct 2019 · 24 h5,16648 km/h55 km/h61 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.
