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 — 8-hour, Feb 9, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,781 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 149 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 947 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 897 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 13.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 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

On Cosburn Ave between Fairside Ave and Binswood Ave, 324 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,000 vehicles a day. Glebemount Ave between Dunkirk Rd and Barker Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Feb 2002). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Glebemount Ave · Dunkirk Rd – Barker Ave · 313 mFeb 2002 · 24 h64525 km/h35 km/h40 km/h
Cosburn Ave · Fairside Ave – Binswood Ave · 324 mSep 2021 · 3 days9,04043 km/h49 km/h54 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.
