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, Nov 25, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,028 westbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 148. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 749 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (628). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Hendon Ave between Eldora Ave and Kensington Ave (45 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 6,000 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Hendon Ave · Eldora Ave – Kensington Ave · 45 mOct 2024 · 3 days6,02641 km/h47 km/h51 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.
