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, Feb 21, 2012

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,595 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 38 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (182 of 331). Evening rush dominates here: 1,542 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,232 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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 most recent midblock count on Dundas St W between Ossington Ave and Lakeview Ave (121 m away, Jan 2016) recorded volume only — about 9,045 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Ossington Ave (217 m away, 30 km/h limit), 22% of the 138,457 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Grove Avenue between Foxley St and Dundas St W (installed 2003).

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Mar 19, 2007.

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

One theft from a vehicle and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 19, 2026.
