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, Apr 16, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 6,055 westbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5. Most cyclists arrived from the east (428 of 844). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,232 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (838). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Massey St between Lane S of Queen and E of Crawford and Queen St W (353 m away) recorded an average of 24 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
King St W · Walnut Ave – Stanley Ter · 269 mNov 2015 · 7 days21,450
Massey St · Lane S of Queen and E of Crawford – Queen St W · 353 mNov 2007 · 3 days30824 km/h34 km/h40 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.
