(Report dated June 3, 1998, addressed to the Chairman and Members of the Scarborough Community Council, from the
Director, Road and Traffic Services, Works and Environment, Scarborough District.)
Subject:Stop Signs on the Streets Intersecting Burnview Crescent, Scarborough City Centre
Purpose:
To provide Through Street status to Burnview Crescent in order to place stop controls on all intersecting roads.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $450.00 (approximate) funds, associated with the installation of three stop signs is available in the Roads & Traffic
Services 1998 Budget, Account No. 20000-70200-72240
Recommendations:
(1)the stop signs identified in Appendix 1 of this report be adopted; and
(2)the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly.
Council Reference/Background/History:
At the request of an area resident, Road & Traffic Services investigated the need for a stop control southbound on the west
leg of Gaiety Drive at Burnview Crescent.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The west intersection of Gaiety Drive at Burnview Crescent is in a residential community south of Lawrence Avenue, and
west of Bellamy Road North. Burnview Crescent functions as a residential collector road connecting to both arterial
roadways. Gaiety Drive is a minor local road and intersects Burnview Drive at both the east and west extension of the
street.
At present, there are three uncontrolled AT@ type intersections on Burnview Crescent. They are at the east and west
intersections of Gaiety Drive, and Vesper Court. All intersections warrant a stop control to define the right-of-way.
Periodic on-street parking along the north side of the street, and the horizontal curvature of the roadway alignment on
Burnview Crescent, further support the need to stop vehicular traffic before proceeding onto Burnview Crescent.
Conclusions:
Stop Signs are recommended for the streets intersecting Burnview Crescent to define the right-of-way at all intersecting
roadways.
