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, Feb 28, 2023
The north leg carries the load — 6,154 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,589. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,368 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,521 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Don Mills Rd between Van Horne Ave and Seneca Hill Dr (169 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 26,800 vehicles a day. Van Horne Ave between Shaughnessy Blvd and O'shea Cres measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Jun 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Seneca Hill Dr (378 m away, 30 km/h limit), 43% of the 33,974 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Seneca Hill Dr (westbound), 312 Seneca Hill Drive · 33,974 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 4, 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

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 19, 2026.
