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, Jul 7, 2026
The east leg carries the load — 1,229 westbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 252. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 435 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 p.m., 87% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (233). Trucks and buses were 7.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Portland St between Stewart St and Lane S of King and W of Portland (63 m away) recorded an average of 16 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 25 km/h. That segment carries about 6,500 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portland St · Stewart St – Lane S of King and W of Portland · 63 m | Jul 2025 · 3 days | 6,469 | 16 km/h | 25 km/h | 30 km/h |
| King St W · Spadina Ave – Brant St · 313 m | Nov 2015 · 7 days | 20,065 | — | — | — |
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
2017 was the peak year (39 collisions), and 2025 closed with 31. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 61 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 27% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 3 cyclists were among those hurt. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. 2019 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Jul 31, 2025.
By year

| In darkness | 2 | 67% here vs 39% citywide |

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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Since January 2026, 4 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 16, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 16, 2026. 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.
