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, Oct 20, 2024 (a weekend day)
The east leg carries the load — 7,141 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 776. Most cyclists arrived from the east (168 of 384). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,365 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,086). Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Kingston Rd between Heyworth Cres and Elmer Ave (201 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 4-day count in June 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. Brookside Dr between Burgess Ave and Beachview Cres measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (Mar 2020). The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Kingston Rd (157 m away, 40 km/h limit), 11% of the 192,382 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

| Kingston Rd · Heyworth Cres – Elmer Ave · 201 m | Jun 2001 · 4 days | 636 | 30 km/h | 37 km/h | 42 km/h |

Kingston Rd (westbound), Burncrest Road · 192,382 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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 11 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 55% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
