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 — 8-hour, Oct 19, 2022

The south leg carries the load — 4,880 northbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 103. Most cyclists arrived from the south (111 of 175). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,608 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,279). Trucks and buses were 6.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Broadview Ave between Hillside Dr and Bater Ave (64 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 4-day count in April 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 16,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Broadview Ave · Hillside Dr – Bater Ave · 64 mApr 2018 · 4 days16,20350 km/h62 km/h69 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.
