Subject:Proposed Stop Controls in New Development South of Lawrence Avenue, East and
West of Port Union Road, Scarborough Highland Creek.
Purpose:
To establish the right-of-way at various intersections within the new residential
developments south of Lawrence Avenue, east and west of Port Union Road
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $1600.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of the stop signs are
available in the Road and 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(1)the stop sign identified in Appendix 1 of this report be rescinded;
(2)the stop signs identified in Appendix 2 of this report be adopted; and
(3)the appropriate by-laws be amended accordingly.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Staff investigated the need for stop controls to define the right-of-way at various
intersections in the new residential developments south of Lawrence Avenue, east and west
of Port Union Road.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Two new residential developments are currently under construction in the areas south of
Lawrence Avenue, east and west of Port Union Road. As is the policy of Road and Traffic
Services, intersections within new developments are investigated for the need of defining the
right-of-way. In respect to the development east of Port Union Road, the developer has
installed stop controls during the construction phase at all intersections. Therefore, we have
included all of these controls in our recommendations.
The development to the west of Port Union Road has not been signed by the developer.
Based on staff investigations all roadways intersecting Bridgeport Drive will require stop
controls, as well as the intersection of Seabreeze Lane at Portsmouth Drive.
Conclusions:
These stop controls will improve the traffic operation in these communities by defining the
right-of-way at the identified intersecting roadways.
