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, Feb 26, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,163 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 478 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (54 of 115). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 628 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 28% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (491). Trucks and buses were 21.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Bouchette St between Commissioners St and Lake Shore Blvd E, 152 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bouchette St · Commissioners St – Lake Shore Blvd E · 152 mApr 2024 · 3 days1,04538 km/h48 km/h54 km/h
Commissioners St · Logan Ave – Carlaw Ave · 316 mApr 2013 · 3 days5,290

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
