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, Jul 9, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 783 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 65 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 192 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 162 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Tamworth Rd between Betty Ann Dr and Ellerslie Ave, 77 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2013 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 51 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. Betty Ann Dr between Tamworth Rd and Diagonal Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Sep 2011). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tamworth Rd · Betty Ann Dr – Ellerslie Ave · 77 m | Dec 2013 · 24 h | 2,277 | 43 km/h | 51 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Betty Ann Dr · Tamworth Rd – Diagonal Rd · 164 m | Sep 2011 · 24 h | 197 | 35 km/h | 47 km/h | 57 km/h |
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.
