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, Apr 16, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,146 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 2,710 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,981 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 1,636 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.4% 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 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 The West Mall between West Mall S and Sherway Dr (85 m away, Apr 2010) recorded volume only — about 22,841 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The West Mall · West Mall S – Sherway Dr · 85 mApr 2010 · 3 days22,841
Sherway Gt · Evans Ave – Sherway Gardens Rd · 291 mSep 2009 · 3 days3,797

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.
