Subject:Rosegrove Place at Summerglade Drive - Proposed Stop Control, Scarborough Malvern

Purpose:

To investigate the need to install a stop control at the intersection of Rosegrove Place and Summerglade Drive.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

The $150 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of a stop sign is available in the Transportation 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.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Transportation Services received a request from an area resident to install a stop control at the intersection of Rosegrove Place and Summerglade Drive.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

Rosegrove Place is a minor residential roadway, located in the community to the southeast of the intersection of Sheppard Avenue and Midland Avenue. Rosegrove Place forms a "T" type intersection at Summerglade Drive to the north, and ends in a cul-de-sac to the south.

Staff investigated this matter and concur that a stop control on Rosegrove Place at Summerglade Drive would assist in defining the right-of-way at this "T" type intersection. Due to a slight curve in the roadway to the east of the intersection, and occasional on-street parking, sight lines are slightly restricted. The introduction of a stop control on Rosegrove Place at Summerglade Drive will also provide area uniformity in traffic controls.

Conclusions:

Based on the results of staff investigations, a stop sign is recommended on Rosegrove Place at Summerglade Drive.
