    12 June 1998

 To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

 From:Jim Kinrade

Commissioner of Transportation

North York Civic Centre

 Subject:All Way Stop Controls: Esgore Drive at Joicey Boulevard

North York Centre South

 Purpose:To install an all way stop control to improve pedestrian and motorist safety, at the intersection of Esgore Drive and Joicey Boulevard.

 Source of funds:

 Funds for the installation of an all way stop control are included within the 1998 operating budget.

 Recommendations:

 To amend Schedules XVIII and XIX of By-law #31001, of the former City of North York, to require traffic to stop on all approaches to the intersection of Esgore Drive and Joicey Boulevard.

 Council Reference/Background/History:

 The Transportation Division reviewed a request from Mr. Tim Higgens, President, South Armour Heights Ratepayers Association, to install all way stop controls at the intersection of Esgore Drive with Felbrigg Avenue, Haddington Avenue and Joicey Boulevard.

 Discussion:

 Currently, eastbound/westbound motorists on Felbrigg Avenue, Haddington Avenue and Joicey Boulevard are required to stop at Esgore Drive. Northbound and southbound traffic on Esgore Drive currently stop at Yonge Boulevard, Ridley Boulevard and Brooke Avenue. Esgore Drive traffic currently travels free flow from Ridley Boulevard to Brooke Avenue.

 The results of the most recent all way stop study, conducted on May 1, indicate that the technical requirements for the installation of an all way stop control have been satisfied at the intersection of Esgore Drive and Joicey Boulevard. During our investigation it was observed that numerous pedestrians crossed the intersection without the protection of the stop controls.

At the intersections of Esgore Drive with Felbrigg Avenue, and Haddington Avenue the results indicate that the technical warrants for the installation of an all way stop control were not satisfied.

Conclusions:

 In view of the above the Transportation Division supports the installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Esgore Drive and Joicey Boulevard.

 Contact Name:

 Mr. Michael Frederick, Director of Operations, 395-7484
