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, Dec 18, 2018

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,293 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 1,087 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,948 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,926 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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 most recent midblock count on Eglinton Ave W between Rakely Crt and Etobicoke Creek Trl (111 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 32,452 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave W · Rakely Crt – Etobicoke Creek Trl · 111 mApr 2013 · 3 days32,452

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.
