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 — 14-hour, Jul 21, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,846 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 2,422 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the west (55 of 131). Evening rush dominates here: 1,558 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 1,407 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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
On Kipling Ave between Birmingham St and New Toronto St, 190 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,800 vehicles a day. Birmingham St between Fifteenth St and Sixteenth St measured slower: 46 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Apr 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Lake Shore Blvd W (316 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.5% of the 179,150 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

Lake Shore Blvd W (eastbound), 3182 Lake Shore Boulevard West · 179,150 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 3, 2023.

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

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 22, 2023.
