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, Mar 25, 2010

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,962 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 256 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,651 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 47% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (1,120). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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

On Wilson Heights Blvd between Cocksfield Ave and Codsell Ave, 48 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,100 vehicles a day. Cocksfield Ave between Wilmington Ave and Wilson Heights Blvd measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Oct 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Tillplain Rd (281 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 1,220 vehicles logged in April 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
