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, Nov 10, 2024 (a weekend day)
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 9,888 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 675. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,963 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,332). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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 22 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 St Clair Ave E between Warden Ave and St. Clair Ravine Trl (279 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 30,300 vehicles a day. Santamonica Blvd between Tartan Ave and Clapperton Ave measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Jan 2020). At the school-zone speed sign on St Clair Ave E (50 m away, 50 km/h limit), 2.6% of the 80,049 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

St Clair Ave E (eastbound), South Side of St Clair Ave E, 40m East of Santamonica Blvd · 80,049 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
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.
