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 1, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,788 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 144 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 892 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 895 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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 Merton St between Yonge St and Lane E of Yonge and S of Merton, 41 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2019 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,300 vehicles a day. Al Green Lane measured slower: 16 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 25 km/h (Nov 2019). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Al Green Lane · 69 mNov 2019 · 24 h11016 km/h25 km/h30 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.
