None of them involved a death or serious injury. Since January 2026, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here.

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, Oct 9, 2008

The east leg carries the load — 5,137 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 60. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,742 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 49% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,171). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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.

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 counter on Cedarvale Ave between Lucia Perillo Lane and Danforth Ave (32 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 200 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wolverleigh Blvd (362 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 9,529 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 cyclist involved), the latest on Apr 13, 2026. 2 older KSI collisions are on file from before 2016.

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.
