Stop Sign on Newmains Court at Evenwood Avenue

Ward 16 - Scarborough Highland Creek

The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (March 16, 1998) from the Director of Road and Traffic Services, Scarborough:

Purpose:

To investigate the need for a stop sign on Newmains Court at Evenwood Avenue.

Funding Sources:

The $150.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of this stop sign 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 adopted; and

(2) the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly.

Background:

At the request of a resident of Clossen Drive, Road and Traffic Services investigated the need for a stop sign southbound on Newmains Court at Evenwood Avenue.

Discussion:

The intersection of Newmains Court and Evenwood Avenue is located in the community to the north of Lawson Road and to the west of Centennial Road. Newmains Court is an undeveloped residential road with only one house constructed thus far.

Staff have conducted traffic investigations and determined that a stop sign would be beneficial on Newmains Court at Evenwood Avenue. This stop sign would clearly define the right-of-way at this location. The installation of this stop sign will not require the trimming or removal of any trees in the area of the sign.

Conclusions:

The installation of a stop sign on Newmains Court at Evenwood Avenue will improve traffic operation at the intersection by defining the right-of-way.
