		4 May 1998 To:Chairman and Members of North York Community Council From:Jim Kinrade Commissioner of Transportation North York Civic Centre Subject:All Way Sop Control: Plunkett Road at Anthia Drive/Cabana Drive Purpose:To install an all way stop control, to improve pedestrian and motorist safety, at the intersection of Plunkett Road at Anthia Drive/Cabana Drive Source of funds: All costs associated with the installation of an all way stop control are included within the 1998 operating budget. Recommendations: This department recommends that Schedules XVIII and XIX, By-law #31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to require traffic to stop on all approaches to the intersection of Plunkett Road at Anthia Drive/Cabana Drive. Council Reference/Background/History: Councillor George Mammoliti has received numerous complaints from local residents who are concerned with the traffic operations and pedestrian safety at the intersection. Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification: Currently, eastbound and westbound traffic on Anthia Drive and Cabana Drive is required to stop for northbound traffic at Plunkett Road. The configuration of the roadways forms a 'T' type intersection. Observations by a member of staff have indicated that the majority of the motorists approaching the intersection are hesitant, as traditionally, vehicles on the through street are not required to relinquish right-of-way to vehicles on the single leg approach. In this instance, although northbound motorists on Plunkett Road have the right-of-way, they are yielding to traffic on Anthia Drive or Cabana Drive. This activity is creating a dangerous situation for both motorists and pedestrians entering this intersection. Due to the high number of pedestrians crossing at this intersection and the confusion for motorists, this department supports the installation of an all way stop control to increase the level of safety for both motorists and pedestrians at this intersection. Conclusions: In view of motorist and pedestrian safety, this department supports the installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Plunkett Road at Anthia Drive/Cabana Drive. Contact Name: Mr. Michael Frederick, Director of Operations, 395-7484 Commissioner KM:bcb g:\investig\operate\tt22\reports\0895.98
