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, Nov 24, 2005
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 5,720 and 6,570 vehicles. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,845 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,909 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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 Parkside Dr between Garden Ave and Algonquin Ave, 209 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 30,600 vehicles a day. Wright Ave between Indian Rd and Parkside Dr measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Aug 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Ward 4 - S10 (270 m away, 40 km/h limit), 29% of the 80,033 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Wright Avenue between Parkside Dr and Sunnyside Ave (installed 2025).

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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
Four thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
