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 — 14-hour, Dec 10, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 11,215 northbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,225. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,504 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,308). Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 Morningside Ave between Walkway 2 N of McLevin and W of Morningside and Morningview Trl (270 m away) recorded an average of 61 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 70 km/h. That segment carries about 23,600 vehicles a day.

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.
