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, Aug 19, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 13,595 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 9,949 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 4,306 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 3,547 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 most recent midblock count on Dundas St W between Islington Ave and Riverbank Dr (16 m away, May 2016) recorded volume only — about 16,277 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dundas St W · Islington Ave – Riverbank Dr · 16 mMay 2016 · 7 days16,277
Islington Ave · Tom Riley Park Trl – Dundas St W · 34 mOct 2014 · 7 days15,646

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.
