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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Sep 28, 2021

The north leg carries the load — 4,259 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 989. Most cyclists arrived from the north (370 of 799). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,551 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,349). Trucks and buses were 8.2% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 counter on Strachan Ave between The Strachan Avenue Military Burying Ground Trl and East Liberty St (292 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 11,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Strachan Ave · The Strachan Avenue Military Burying Ground Trl – East Liberty St · 292 mNov 2022 · 3 days11,20036 km/h45 km/h50 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.
