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, Aug 10, 2006

The east leg carries the load — 291 westbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 22. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 111 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 41% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (79). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
