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, Jun 11, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 5,342 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 2. Most cyclists arrived from the north (651 of 1,487). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,157 vehicles in the hour from 5:45 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (952). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Maitland Pl between Homewood Ave and Jarvis St (318 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. Maitland St between Church St and Wellspring Lane measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Aug 2026). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Alexander St (113 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 61,958 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
