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, Sep 24, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,338 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 116 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (56 of 105). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,542 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,599 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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 Louisa St and Alexander St, 48 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2026 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lake Shore Blvd W · Louisa St – Alexander St · 48 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.
