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, Dec 10, 2022 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,430 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 2,243 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,967 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,508 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 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 Martin Grove Rd between Walkway S of Steeles and W of Minglehaze and CN Railway (113 m away, Jun 2016) recorded volume only — about 17,193 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Martin Grove Rd · Walkway S of Steeles and W of Minglehaze – CN Railway · 113 mJun 2016 · 3 days17,193
Steeles Ave W · Gihon Spring Dr – Hwy 27 N · 199 mMar 2016 · 9 days17,238

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.
