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, May 15, 2017

The east leg carries the load — 4,480 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 60. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,388 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,244). Trucks and buses were 8.3% 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 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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 counter on Marjory Ave between Austin Ave and Lane S of Gerrard and W of Marjory (96 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. Gerrard St E between Carlaw Ave and Boston Ave measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Aug 2017). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Marjory Avenue between Dagmar Ave and Gerrard St E.

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.
