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.

The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 616 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 602 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Avondale Ave between Tradewind Ave and Oakburn Cres, 109 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. Oakburn Cres between Avonshire Parkette Trl and Avonshire Park Trl measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Mar 2001).

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
