The latest City count averages about 860 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 74% of the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 9 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 11.5% of vehicle volume, about 15× the typical share. That comes with about 2.2 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions rose 114%, from 7 in 2016–2020 to 15 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 22 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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 20, 2021

The west leg carries the load — 3,314 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 124. Most cyclists arrived from the west (377 of 789). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,019 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (928). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.
