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, Oct 25, 2025 (a weekend day)

The south leg carries the load — 5,362 northbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 23. Most cyclists arrived from the south (346 of 831). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,323 vehicles in the hour from 6:15 p.m., 40% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (942). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 most recent midblock count on Bay St between Bloor St W and Mayfair Mews (65 m away, Sep 2019) recorded volume only — about 10,845 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bay St · Bloor St W – Mayfair Mews · 65 mSep 2019 · 7 days10,845
Cumberland St · Yonge St – Lane W of Yonge and N of Cumberland · 174 mJan 2008 · 3 days7,832

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.
