Subject: Stop Sign on Guildhall Drive at Ellington Drive, Scarborough Wexford
Purpose:
To investigate the need to install a stop sign on Guildhall Drive at Ellington Drive.
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 an area resident, Road & Traffic Services investigated the need for a stop sign on Guildhall Drive at Ellington Drive.
Discussion:
The AT@ intersection of Guildhall Drive and Ellington Drive is located in the community in the northwest quadrant of Lawrence Avenue and Warden Avenue. Ellington Drive is a residential collector road and Guildhall Drive is a minor local residential roadway.
Staff have conducted traffic investigations and determined that a stop sign would be beneficial at this intersection. This stop sign would clearly define the right-of-way and stop motorists behind the sidewalk that exists on the west side of Ellington Drive. 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 stop sign on Guildhall Drive at Ellington Drive, will improve traffic operation at the intersection and have little impact on boulevard landscaping.
