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, Jan 31, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,052 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 5,400 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 4,868 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 4,067 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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 most recent midblock count on Warden Ave between Walkway S of Steeles and E of Warden and Steeles Ave E (31 m away, Jun 2016) recorded volume only — about 33,629 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Warden Ave · Walkway S of Steeles and E of Warden – Steeles Ave E · 31 mJun 2016 · 3 days33,629
Steeles Ave E · Walkway W of Warden and S of Steeles – Warden Ave · 88 mApr 2014 · 3 days28,918

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.
