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, Jun 18, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,069 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 174 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,154 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,044 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.3% 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. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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

On Cordova Ave between Lane S of Dundas and E of Cordova and Central Park Rdwy, 57 m from the corner, a 2-day count in December 2021 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Cordova Ave · Lane S of Dundas and E of Cordova – Central Park Rdwy · 57 mDec 2021 · 2 days7,01240 km/h49 km/h55 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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 30, 2007.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

12 thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
