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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 17, 2022 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,669 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,249. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,033 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 145% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (829). Trucks and buses were 6.2% 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 was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Wendell Ave between Pellatt Ave and Wilson Ave (301 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 2-day count in June 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 7,100 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Wendell Ave · Pellatt Ave – Wilson Ave · 301 mJun 2023 · 2 days7,09038 km/h47 km/h50 km/h

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.
