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, Dec 18, 2024
The south leg carries the load — 9,525 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 71. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,709 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,469). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 21 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
The City's counter on Brimley Rd between Knob Hill Park Trl and Gully Dr (167 m away) recorded an average of 56 km/h in its 7-day count in May 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 19,800 vehicles a day.

| Brimley Rd · Knob Hill Park Trl – Gully Dr · 167 m | May 2023 · 7 days | 19,847 | 56 km/h | 64 km/h | 69 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 238 m
Brimley Rd (northbound) · 32,864 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
