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, Oct 20, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 6,590 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 382. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,966 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,060 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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

The City's counter on Dundas St W between Brookside Ave and Humbercrest Blvd (327 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 26,400 vehicles a day. Gooch Ave between Gooch Crt and Skylark Rd measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Nov 2011). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Gooch Ave · Gooch Crt – Skylark Rd · 210 mNov 2011 · 2 days61636 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
Dundas St W · Brookside Ave – Humbercrest Blvd · 327 mNov 2018 · 24 h26,42858 km/h68 km/h76 km/h

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.
