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, Nov 12, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 16,614 eastbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 7,720. Most cyclists arrived from the west (43 of 89). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,995 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 7:15 a.m. (3,392). Trucks and buses were 8.7% 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 22 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 counter on Steeles Ave W between Irondale Dr and Klondike Dr (364 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 67 km/h. That segment carries about 39,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Weston Rd · Garyray Dr – Steeles Ave W · 149 mJun 2016 · 3 days24,222
Steeles Ave W · Irondale Dr – Klondike Dr · 364 mSep 2019 · 2 days39,24954 km/h67 km/h73 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.
