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, Aug 5, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 14,556 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 786 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (39 of 57). Evening rush dominates here: 2,736 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,218 in the morning peak from 6:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.9% 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. 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

On Steeles Ave W between Walkway 2 W of Kipling and S of Steeles and Walkway E of Gihon Spring and S of Steeles, 229 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2026 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,400 vehicles a day. Gihon Spring Dr between Shockley Dr and Kidron Valley Dr measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Oct 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.
