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, Nov 18, 2023 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,365 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 1,722 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,190 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 776 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Emdaabiimok Ave between Lane S of Queen and W of Coxwell and Queen St E (21 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 4,492 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Emdaabiimok Ave · Lane S of Queen and W of Coxwell – Queen St E · 21 mApr 2013 · 3 days4,492
Queen St E · Emdaabiimok Ave – Eastern Ave · 72 mJun 2013 · 24 h6,725

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.
