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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jun 24, 2023 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,813 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 222 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 681 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 339 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Cummer Ave between Pineway Blvd and Mallaby Rd, 266 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2021 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,900 vehicles a day. Pineway Blvd between Reiber Cres and Leavey Crt measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Nov 2018). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Pineway Blvd (254 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.9% of the 16,602 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
