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 — 8-hour, Feb 8, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,429 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 191 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,053 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,625 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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

On Kipling Ave between Coolhurst Dr and Redcliff Blvd, 270 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,200 vehicles a day. Redwater Dr between Tofield Cres and Ponoca Rd measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Nov 2021).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Redwater Dr · Tofield Cres – Ponoca Rd · 268 mNov 2021 · 3 days3,16042 km/h50 km/h56 km/h
Kipling Ave · Coolhurst Dr – Redcliff Blvd · 270 mApr 2025 · 3 days23,19546 km/h54 km/h58 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.
