(Report June 12, 1998, addressed to North York Community Council, from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre.) Subject:All Way Stop Control: Dalemount Avenue at Hillmount Avenue, North York Spadina

Purpose:To assess the feasibility and the appropriateness of installing an all way stop control at the intersection of Dalemount and Hillmount Avenues.

Source of funds:

All costs associated with the installation of an all way stop control are included within the 1998 operating budget.

Recommendations:

The Transportation Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department recommends that Schedules XVIII and XIX of By-Law #31001, of the former City of North York be amended to require traffic to stop on all approaches to the Dalemount Avenue/Hillmount Avenue intersection.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, northbound and southbound traffic on Dalemount Avenue is required to stop one block to the north and south at Glencairn Avenue and Viewmount Avenue, respectively. Eastbound and westbound traffic on Hillmount Avenue stops two blocks to the west at Shermount Avenue and one block to the east at Glenmount Avenue.

A historical review of the department=s intersection location files indicates that numerous all way stop studies have been completed at the intersection.

Discussion:

The most recent study indicated that an all way stop is warranted. The installation of the additional stop controls will not adversely impact traffic operations on Dalemount or Hillmount Avenues and should not result in the displacement of traffic to other adjacent roadways.

Conclusions:

The Transportation Division supports the installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Dalemount Avenue and Hillmount Avenue.
