Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,870 vehicles, 1.62× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 5 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 5.5% of vehicle volume, about 7.1× the typical share. That comes with about 26 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 9.8 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.98× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 19%, from 142 in 2016–2020 to 115 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 257 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Aug 13, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 8,594 eastbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,344. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,211 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,384 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 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

The City's counter on Dupont St between Skaters Lane and Hammond Pl (302 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 8,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Garnet Ave (400 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 21,135 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.
