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, Oct 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,523 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 3,357 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,296 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 1,081 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 St Clair Ave W between Christie St and Humewood Dr (19 m away, Jan 2019) recorded volume only — about 8,082 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
St Clair Ave W · Christie St – Humewood Dr · 19 mJan 2019 · 7 days8,082
Christie St · Lane S of St Clair and W of Christie – St Clair Ave W · 27 mApr 2013 · 3 days5,812

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.
