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, May 26, 2011

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,895 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 1,322 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (86 of 193). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 4,121 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 20% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (3,420). Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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.

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 Bathurst St and Stadium Rd, 100 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2021 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,400 vehicles a day. Stadium Rd between Queens Quay W and Bishop Tutu Blvd measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Apr 2013). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lake Shore Blvd W · Bathurst St – Stadium Rd · 100 mOct 2021 · 24 h17,41760 km/h68 km/h73 km/h
Stadium Rd · Queens Quay W – Bishop Tutu Blvd · 138 mApr 2013 · 3 days3,15136 km/h44 km/h49 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.

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. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jul 20, 2010.

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

Five thefts from vehicles and 19 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 3.3 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from apartment-building parking; 37% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 7, 2026.
