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, Feb 9, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,074 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 550 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 875 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 785 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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
On Pape Ave between Riverdale Ave and Withrow Ave, 48 m from the corner, a 3-day count in December 2018 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,500 vehicles a day. Riverdale Ave between Lane E of Pape and S of Riverdale and Poucher St measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Dec 2018). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Riverdale Ave (101 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 23,049 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Riverdale Avenue between Pape Ave and Kiswick St.

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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Mar 6, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.
