To:Chairman and Members of the Scarborough Community Council
From:Gary Welsh, Director, Road and Traffic Services, Works and Emergency Services,
Scarborough District
Subject:Stop Signs on Leyton Avenue and Patterson Avenue, Scarborough Bluffs
Purpose:
To investigate the need to install stop signs on the roads intersecting Leyton Avenue and
Patterson Avenue.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $ 1200.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of the stop signs is
available in the Road and Traffic Services 1998 Budget, Account No. 20000-70200-72240.
Recommendations:
It is proposed that:
(1)the stop signs identified in Appendix 1 of this report be adopted; and
(2)the appropriate by-laws be amended accordingly.
Council Reference/Background/History:
At the request of Councillor Altobello, on behalf of a resident of Leyton Avenue, Road and
Traffic Services investigated the need for stop signs on roadways intersecting Leyton
Avenue and Patterson Avenue.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Leyton Avenue and Patterson Avenue are residential roadways located in the community to
the north of Danforth Avenue and east of Pharmacy Avenue. The majority of intersections in
this area have existing stop signs indicating the right-of-way. It is recommended to include
the remaining streets intersecting Leyton Avenue and Patterson Avenue in an effort to
provide area uniformity in controls and define the right-of-way. The installation of stop
signs at these locations will not require the trimming or removal of any trees.
Conclusions:
The installation of stop signs on the streets intersecting Leyton Avenue and Patterson
Avenue are recommended to improve safety by providing area uniformity as well as
defining the right-of-way at these intersections.
