Subject:Proposed Stop Controls on Cascaden Street and on Scoville Square, Scarborough Agincourt

Purpose:

To investigate the need for stop controls to define the right-of-way on Cascaden Street and Scoville Square.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

The $450 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of the stop signs is available in the Transportation Services 1998 Budget, Account No. 2000-70200-72240.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(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:

As a result, development of a new residential community located south of Steeles Avenue, west of Brimley Road, staff investigated the need for stop controls to define the right-of-way at intersecting roadways.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

Transportation Services has determined that stop controls are required at three intersections within this new residential community. The purpose of these stop controls is to define the right-of-way at these intersecting roadways, and to provide area uniformity in traffic controls. The intersections identified are as follows:

(i)Cascaden Street at Ashcott Street - stop control on Cascaden Street;

(ii)Cascaden Street at Scoville Square - stop control on Cascaden Street; and

(iii)Scoville Square at Scoville Square - stop control on Scoville Square, westbound.

Conclusions:

Based on the results of staff investigations, stop controls are recommended at the intersections of Cascaden Street at Ashcott Street, Cascaden Street at Scoville Square, and Scoville Square at Scoville Square (westbound).
