5 November 1998

To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

From:Roberto Stopnicki, Director,

Transportation Services, District 3

Subject:All Way Stop Control: Patricia Avenue at Fargo Avenue

North York Centre

Purpose:

To install an all way stop control, to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety, at the intersection of Patricia Avenue and Fargo Avenue.

Source of funds:

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

Recommendations:

That Schedules XVIII and XIX of By-Law #31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to require traffic to stop at all approaches to the intersection of Patricia Avenue at Fargo Avenue.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, eastbound and westbound motorists on Patricia Avenue are required to stop at Fargo Avenue. Traffic on Fargo Avenue is not required to stop between Connaught and Moore Park Avenues..

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

Staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department have been requested by local residents to consider the installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Patricia Avenue and Fargo Avenue. Residents are concerned for the safety of the many pedestrians who cross at the intersection, without the protection of the stop controls.

The results of the most recent all way stop study, conducted on October 15, concluded that the technical requirements for an all way stop control have been satisfied. Although the majority of traffic currently travels east and west along Patricia Avenue, motorists are required to provide right of way to traffic on Fargo Avenue.

Conclusions:

To improve the level of safety for all road users, the Works and Emergency Services Department supports the installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Patricia Avenue and Fargo Avenue.
