Subject: Stop Sign on Arden Crescent at Rockelm Road (South Intersection), Scarborough Bluffs
Purpose:
To investigate the need to install a northbound stop sign on Arden Crescent at Rockelm Road (south intersection).
Funding Sources:
The $150.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of this stop sign are available in the Road & Traffic Services 1998 Budget, Account No. 20000-70200-72240.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) the stop sign identified in Appendix 1 of this report be adopted; and
(2) the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly.
Background:
At the request of a resident of Arden Crescent, Road & Traffic Services investigated the need for a northbound stop sign on Arden Crescent at Rockelm Road (south intersection).
Discussion:
The intersection of Arden Crescent at Rockelm Road is located in the community to the north of St. Clair Avenue, and to the east of Pharmacy Avenue. Staff have conducted traffic investigations and determined that a northbound stop sign would be beneficial at this AT@ type intersection. This stop sign would clearly define the right-of-way at this location. The installation of this stop sign will not require the trimming or removal of any trees in the area of the sign.
Conclusions:
The installation of a northbound stop sign on Arden Crescent at Rockelm Road (south intersection), will improve traffic operation at the intersection by defining the right-of-way.
