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, Nov 26, 2002
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,071 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 196 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,602 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,466 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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
On Queen St E between Woodbine Park Trl and Northern Dancer Blvd, 381 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2006 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. Rainsford Rd between Lane N of Queen and W of Woodbine and Dixon Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Sep 2010). The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Queen Street E (180 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 16,776 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Boardwalk Drive between Rainsford Rd and Northern Dancer Blvd, and 2 more calmed segments end here.

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
Five 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. The pace has been steady at around 1.0 a year. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |

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.
