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, Dec 5, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 10,255 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 167 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,549 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,623 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.5% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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 Sheppard Ave E between Allanford Rd and Kennedy Rd, 345 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,700 vehicles a day. Gordon Ave between Collingwood St and Sheppard Ave E measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (Nov 2010). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Gordon Ave · Collingwood St – Sheppard Ave E · 93 mNov 2010 · 24 h83742 km/h54 km/h62 km/h
Sheppard Ave E · Allanford Rd – Kennedy Rd · 345 mSep 2019 · 2 days22,65950 km/h60 km/h67 km/h

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.
