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 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

The north leg carries the load — 7,124 southbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,633. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,954 vehicles in the hour from 5:45 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,665). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 St Clair Ave W between Crang Ave and Appleton Ave (116 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 11,500 vehicles a day. Oakwood Ave between Biggar Ave and Lane S of St Clair and E of Oakwood measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Oakwood Ave (92 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 14,258 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
