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 26, 2005

The east leg carries the load — 6,799 westbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 98. Most cyclists arrived from the south (91 of 94). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,073 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,004 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% 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 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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 York Mills Rd between Cedarwood Ave and Birchwood Ave (109 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 2-day count in January 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 9,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Gordon Rd (367 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 3,638 vehicles logged in July 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.
