Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

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, Oct 21, 2002

The south leg carries the load — 6,598 northbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 65. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,677 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,680 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 24 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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 most recent midblock count on Bay St between Bloor St W and Mayfair Mews (33 m away, Sep 2019) recorded volume only — about 10,845 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bay St · Bloor St W – Mayfair Mews · 33 mSep 2019 · 7 days10,845

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and nine bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 0.6 a year before that. 44% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
