Purpose:To install an all way stop control to improve pedestrian and motorists safety, at the
intersection of Ellerslie Avenue at Stafford Road
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 on all approaches to the intersection of Ellerslie Avenue at
Stafford Road.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, northbound and southbound motorists on Stafford Road are required to stop at
Ellerslie Avenue. Ellerslie Avenue traffic travels unrestricted from Bathurst Street to Senlac
Road.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The Transportation Division of the Works and Emergency Services has reviewed a request
from Councillor Norman Gardner to install an all way stop control at the intersection of
Ellerslie Avenue and Stafford Road.
The results of the most recent all way stop study concluded that the technical requirements for
the installation of an all way stop control have been satisfied at the intersection of Ellerslie
Avene at Stafford Road.
Conclusions:
In view of the above, this division supports the installation of an all way stop control at the
intersection of Ellerslie Avenue and Stafford Road.
