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)

The north leg carries the load — 12,810 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 335. Most cyclists arrived from the south (35 of 50). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,556 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 64% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,555). Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Omni Dr between Brimley Rd and Borough Dr (46 m away, Sep 2007) recorded volume only — about 6,817 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Omni Dr · Brimley Rd – Borough Dr · 46 mSep 2007 · 3 days6,817
Brimley Rd · Omni Dr – Triton Rd · 146 mNov 2013 · 3 days16,368

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.
