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 2, 2005
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,607 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 198 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (51 of 93). Evening rush dominates here: 1,179 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 971 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 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
On Margueretta St between Lane N of Dundas and W of Margueretta and Moutray St, 73 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2010 put the average speed at 12 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 18 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 31 km/h or more. That segment carries about 0 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Brock Ave (163 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 72,657 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Brock Ave (northbound), 329 Brock Avenue · 72,657 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
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
Two thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 9, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 9, 2026. 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.
