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 — 14-hour, Oct 28, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,897 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 258. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 387 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 6:30 a.m. (334). Trucks and buses were 21.5% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Passmore Ave between Tapscott Rd and Morningside Ave (50 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 7-day count in May 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 4,000 vehicles a day.

Passmore Ave · Tapscott Rd – Morningside Ave · 50 mMay 2023 · 7 days4,03753 km/h63 km/h69 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.
