The latest City count averages about 830 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 72% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 1.8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 10.3% of vehicle volume, about 13× the typical share. That comes with about 10 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions fell 34%, from 61 in 2016–2020 to 40 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 101 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Aug 12, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,466 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 1,340 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (319 of 681). Evening rush dominates here: 1,018 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 781 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.0% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Beverley St between Stephanie St and Sullivan St, 201 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 8,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bulwer St (239 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 4,378 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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.
