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 — 14-hour, Nov 15, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,003 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 2,485 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,590 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,869 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 most recent midblock count on Sheppard Ave W between Mary Chapman Blvd and Weston Rd (256 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 24,880 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sheppard Ave W · Mary Chapman Blvd – Weston Rd · 256 mSep 2014 · 7 days24,880
Rivalda Rd · Sheppard Ave W – Bradstock Rd · 295 mSep 2009 · 3 days6,459

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.
