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 25, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,646 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 176 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,415 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,486 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Leslie St between Finch Ave E and Tree Sparroway (94 m away, Oct 2014) recorded volume only — about 12,178 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Leslie St · Finch Ave E – Tree Sparroway · 94 mOct 2014 · 7 days12,178

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

Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 6, 2026.
