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, Jan 24, 2018

The west leg carries the load — 15,566 eastbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 11. Most cyclists arrived from the west (149 of 153). Morning rush is the busier period: 4,535 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 3,717 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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 most recent midblock count on Ontario Dr between Lake Shore Blvd W and Prince Edward Island Cres (28 m away, Jun 1998) recorded volume only — about 2,369 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Ontario Dr · Lake Shore Blvd W – Prince Edward Island Cres · 28 mJun 1998 · 2 days2,369
Lake Shore Blvd W · Remembrance Dr – Aquatic Dr · 35 mMay 2011 · 24 h28,243

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.

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.
