Intersection node or Midblock segment. Spatial geometry can be found by using centreline type and centreline id to lookup spatial information in the Toronto Centreline and Intersection File datasets. If the centreline type is Intersection, cross-reference centreline id with INTERSECTION ID in the Intersection File dataset (https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/intersection-file-city-of-toronto/). If the centreline_type is Midblock, cross-reference centreline_id with CENTRELINE_ID in the Toronto Centreline dataset (https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/toronto-centreline-tcl/).
