Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3950 Keele Street · Surface | 1.1 km | 335 * | — |
| 2800 Steeles Ave W. · Surface | 1.4 km | 1,881 * | — |
Nearest lots: 85 m away, ≈361 spaces; 87 m away, ≈299 spaces; 210 m away, ≈683 spaces; 215 m away, ≈836 spaces; 237 m away, ≈163 spaces; 247 m away, ≈18 spaces.
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, Jan 21, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,651 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 1,510 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,421 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,963 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Canarctic Dr between Keele St and Wildcat Rd (120 m away, Jun 2007) recorded volume only — about 4,311 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canarctic Dr · Keele St – Wildcat Rd · 120 m | Jun 2007 · 3 days | 4,311 | — | — | — |
| Keele St · The Pond Rd – York Blvd · 185 m | May 2013 · 3 days | 37,811 | — | — | — |
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2018, with 17 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 15 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on May 5, 2006.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Five thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 5 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (4), commercial premises (1) |
| Bicycle theft | 1 | 1 | 0 | school/campus (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 23, 2025. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see York University Heights.
