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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 29, 2014

The south leg carries the load — 7,398 northbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,062. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,733 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,638 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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 Summitcrest Dr between Sun Row Dr and Manorhampton Dr (205 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 3,800 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Sun Row Dr (349 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 25,938 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
