Subject: Stop Sign on Bush Gate at Bush Drive, Scarborough Highland Creek
Purpose:
To investigate the need to install a stop sign on Bush Gate at Bush 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 Councillor Faubert, on behalf of a resident of Bush Drive, Road & Traffic Services investigated the need for a stop sign westbound on Bush Gate at Bush Drive.
Discussion:
The intersection of Bush Gate and Bush Drive is located in the community to the north of Old Kingston Road, west of Morrish Road. At present, there is a stop control on Bush Gate where it intersects at Morrish Road.
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 at this location as well as providing area uniformity. The installation of this stop sign may require minor trimming of tree branches, however, this can be better determined upon completion of the sign installation.
Conclusions:
The installation of a stop sign on Bush Gate at Bush Drive, will improve traffic operation at the intersection by defining the right-of-way.
