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 21, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,508 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 546 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (92 of 178). Evening rush dominates here: 1,115 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 996 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Dwight Ave between Maple Blvd and Heman St, 155 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 40 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 2,700 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dwight Ave · Maple Blvd – Heman St · 155 m | May 2026 · 3 days | 2,660 | 40 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Lake Shore Blvd W · Royal York Rd – Sand Beach Rd · 231 m | Aug 2015 · 3 days | 13,507 | — | — | — |
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
