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 29, 2000

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,000 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 377. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,506 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,427 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2000, 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

The City's counter on Elmbrook Cres between Garbutt Cres and Hellensfield Cres (271 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. Renforth Dr between Elmbrook Cres and Gentian Dr measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2024). The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Renforth Dr (1 of 3) (205 m away, 30 km/h limit), 75% of the 157,420 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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.
