Subject: Stop Sign on Charity Road at Safari Street, Scarborough City Centre
Purpose:
To investigate the need to install a stop sign on Charity Road at Safari Street.
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 Charity Road, Road & Traffic Services investigated the need for a stop sign southbound on Charity Road at Safari Street.
Discussion:
The intersection of Charity Road and Safari Street is located in the community to the south of Eglinton Avenue and to the west of Midland Avenue. At present, the northerly extension of Charity Road, where it intersects with Benjamin Boulevard, is controlled by stop controls for both northbound and southbound traffic.
Therefore, in an effort to maintain area uniformity, as well as clearly defining the right-of-way at the intersection of Charity Road and Safari Street, a stop control is proposed for this location. The installation of this stop sign will not require the removal or trimming of trees.
Conclusions:
The installation of a stop sign on Charity Road at Safari Street, will improve traffic operation at the intersection by defining the right-of-way.
