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 — 14-hour, Nov 18, 2023 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,622 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 565 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,792 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,138 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 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 most recent midblock count on Emdaabiimok Ave between Lake Shore Blvd E and Lake Shore Blvd East Trl (5 m away, Mar 2014) recorded volume only — about 11,178 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Emdaabiimok Ave · Lake Shore Blvd E – Lake Shore Blvd East Trl · 5 mMar 2014 · 3 days11,178
Ashbridges Bay Park Rd · Lake Shore Blvd E – Martin Goodman Trl · 108 mDec 2011 · 3 days2,634
Lake Shore Blvd E · Emdaabiimok Ave – Northern Dancer Blvd · 213 mApr 2013 · 3 days25,763

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.
