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, Jul 14, 2010

The north leg carries the load — 4,683 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 29. Most cyclists arrived from the north (120 of 220). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,472 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,172). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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

The City's counter on Maria St between Maria Street Parkette Trl and Runnymede Rd (73 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Maria Street between Runnymede Rd and Clendenan 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.
