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, Sep 12, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,417 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 118 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (123 of 193). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,260 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,199 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Burgess Ave between Lane E of Woodbine and S of Burgess and Golfview Ave, 122 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2018 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 36 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Burgess Avenue between Woodbine Ave and Golfview Ave (installed 2006).

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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

Six thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 1.7 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 83% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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.
