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, May 30, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,683 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 1,556 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the west (76 of 119). Evening rush dominates here: 1,952 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,740 in the morning peak from 7:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years 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

On Lake Shore Blvd W between Marine Parade Dr and Lake Shore W, 197 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2010 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Brookers Lane · Annie Craig Dr – Lake Shore W · 51 mNov 2007 · 3 days2,821
Lake Shore Blvd W · Marine Parade Dr – Lake Shore W · 197 mSep 2010 · 24 h9,28146 km/h57 km/h62 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.
