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, Jun 11, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 11,514 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 805. Most cyclists arrived from the east (88 of 195). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,226 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,281 from 5:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 2 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 counter on Finch Ave E between Chartland Blvd S and Brimley Rd (200 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 28,100 vehicles a day. Alexmuir Blvd between Edgeway Gt and Carolbreen Sq measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Oct 2019).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Finch Ave E · Chartland Blvd S – Brimley Rd · 200 mApr 2025 · 3 days28,13552 km/h59 km/h64 km/h
Alexmuir Blvd · Edgeway Gt – Carolbreen Sq · 330 mOct 2019 · 2 days2,47840 km/h48 km/h53 km/h

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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 18, 2010.

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.
