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 — 8-hour, Oct 14, 2021
The south leg carries the load — 2,504 northbound vehicles, or 70% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 204. Most cyclists arrived from the north (58 of 136). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 509 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 534 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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 counter on Victoria Park Ave between Swanwick Ave and Linton Ave (54 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 11,100 vehicles a day. Swanwick Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Blantyre Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Dec 2004). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Blantyre Ave (215 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 32,644 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Blantyre Ave (southbound), 294 Blantyre Avenue · 32,644 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 7, 2024. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
