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, Apr 16, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 7,346 vehicles entering from the north to 8,840 from the east. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,389 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,828). Trucks and buses were 7.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 months 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 The West Mall between West Mall S and Sherway Dr (93 m away, Apr 2010) recorded volume only — about 22,841 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The West Mall · West Mall S – Sherway Dr · 93 mApr 2010 · 3 days22,841
Evans Ave · Sherway Gt – West Mall S · 99 mSep 2012 · 3 days24,483

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.

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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

Toronto Police place ten thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 2.1 a year before that. 70% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 60% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
