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, Jul 28, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 4,888 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 494. Most cyclists arrived from the west (182 of 287). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,460 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 43% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,021). Trucks and buses were 8.6% 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 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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

The City's counter on Lake Shore Blvd W between Louisa St and Alexander St (353 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 18,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lake Shore Blvd W · Louisa St – Alexander St · 353 mJun 2026 · 3 days18,41045 km/h54 km/h60 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

2019 was the peak year (29 collisions), and 2025 closed with 21. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 49 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 12, 2006.

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 reported at this corner

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

Toronto Police place 49 thefts from vehicles and 46 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 16× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 11 in 2023–2025, about 3.7 a year, against 12.0 a year before that. 86% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 20, 2026.
