The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (March 13, 1998) from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre:

Purpose:

To install an all way stop control at the intersection of Barse Street and Fairlawn Avenue.

Source of funds:

Funds for the installation of an all way stop control are included within the 1998 operating budget.

Recommendation:

This department recommends that Schedules XVIII and XIX of By-law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to require traffic to stop on all approaches to the intersection of Barse Street and Fairlawn Avenue.

Council Reference/Background/History:

A previous all way stop study was conducted in November 11, 1994, to determine whether an all way stop control would be warranted at the intersection of Barse Street and Fairlawn Avenue. Based upon the results of the study, an all way stop was not recommended. This department has subsequently been requested by Mr. Paul Anoyal, 560 Fairlawn Avenue, to evaluate traffic operations at the intersection and to recommend any appropriate improvements.

Discussions:

Currently, northbound and southbound motorists on Barse Street are required to stop at Fairlawn Avenue.

The results of the most recent all way stop study, conducted on December 9, 1997, indicated that the technical requirements for the installation of an all way stop control have been satisfied.

Conclusions:

In view of the above, this department supports the installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Barse Street and Fairlawn Avenue.
