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 29, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,625 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 2,041 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,548 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,719 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Cordova Ave between Lane S of Dundas and E of Cordova and Central Park Rdwy, 114 m from the corner, a 2-day count in December 2021 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,000 vehicles a day. Burnhamthorpe Rd between Lane W of Dundas and N of Burnhamthorpe and Burnhamthorpe Cres measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (May 2022). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Dundas St W · Islington Ave – Riverbank Dr · 329 mMay 2016 · 7 days16,277

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.
