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, Dec 11, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 1,893 westbound vehicles, or 60% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 54. Most cyclists arrived from the west (149 of 303). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 360 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 p.m., 27% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (283). Trucks and buses were 14.7% 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 21 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Mill St between Trinity St and Cherry St (279 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Mill St · Trinity St – Cherry St · 279 mAug 2020 · 3 days2,17229 km/h39 km/h47 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.
