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, Apr 21, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,165 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 155 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 954 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 933 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Doris Ave between Elmwood Ave and Hillcrest Ave, 305 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,200 vehicles a day. Spring Garden Ave between William Poole Way and Jonathan Dunn Way measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Jun 2017). At the school-zone speed sign on Doris Ave (44 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 2,100 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

| Spring Garden Ave · William Poole Way – Jonathan Dunn Way · 75 m | Jun 2017 · 24 h | 252 | 27 km/h | 35 km/h | 40 km/h |

Doris Ave (northbound), 115/117 Doris Ave · 2,100 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
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
Six thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 57% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 24, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 24, 2026. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
