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, Mar 10, 2015

The east leg carries the load — 321 westbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 213. Most cyclists arrived from the west (30 of 64). Morning rush is the busier period: 160 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 132 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 35.7% 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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 Concord Ave between Hepbourne St and Lane S of Bloor and W of Ossington (273 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 2-day count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 200 vehicles a day. Northumberland St between Dovercourt Rd and Westmoreland Ave measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Apr 2004). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 8 speed humps slow traffic on Concord Avenue between Hallam St and Northumberland St (installed 2000).

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

Toronto Police place ten thefts from vehicles and nine bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 1.7 a year before that. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
