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, Jul 21, 1999

The east leg carries the load — 2,721 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 72. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 936 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 889 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 27 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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 counter on Kimbourne Ave between Mortimer Ave and Memorial Park Ave (104 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in January 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. Mortimer Ave between Linsmore Cres and Bonnie Brae Blvd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Jun 2022). The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kimbourne Ave · Mortimer Ave – Memorial Park Ave · 104 mJan 2006 · 3 days26332 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
Mortimer Ave · Linsmore Cres – Bonnie Brae Blvd · 136 mJun 2022 · 7 days11,18235 km/h41 km/h45 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
