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

The east leg carries the load — 9,818 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 677. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,162 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 43% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,509). Trucks and buses were 6.6% 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 Evans Ave between Gair Dr and Sherway Gt (283 m away, Dec 2018) recorded volume only — about 12,840 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Evans Ave · Gair Dr – Sherway Gt · 283 mDec 2018 · 7 days12,840

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
