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, Feb 26, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 4,064 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 733. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 853 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 839 from 2:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 20.3% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Leslie St between Unwin Ave and Commissioners St (269 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 51 km/h. That segment carries about 4,200 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Leslie St · Unwin Ave – Commissioners St · 269 mOct 2023 · 3 days4,16940 km/h51 km/h57 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.

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

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
