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, Jun 16, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 11,110 eastbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,675. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,178 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,151 from 5:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Steeles Ave E between Walkway E of Brimley and S of Steeles and Strawberry Hills Dr (234 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 22,100 vehicles a day. Strawberry Hills Dr between Wilderness Dr and Steeles Ave E measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2026). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on New Sign (319 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 33,535 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
