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, Apr 21, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 7,851 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 90. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,387 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,370 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Islington Ave between Springbrook Gdns and Van Dusen Blvd (49 m away) recorded an average of 63 km/h in its 3-day count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 70 km/h. That segment carries about 32,100 vehicles a day. Springbrook Gdns between Lothian Ave and Eagle Rd measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Dec 2011). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Islington Ave · Springbrook Gdns – Van Dusen Blvd · 49 mJan 2020 · 3 days32,06263 km/h70 km/h75 km/h
Springbrook Gdns · Lothian Ave – Eagle Rd · 239 mDec 2011 · 24 h61636 km/h46 km/h52 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.
