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 — 14-hour, Jan 13, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 1,830 westbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 173. Morning rush is the busier period: 449 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 359 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Richview Ave between Burton Rd and Ardmore Rd (105 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day.

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.
