Stop Sign on Piperbrook Crescent at Ling Road
Ward 16 - Scarborough Highland Creek
The Scarborough Community Council recommends adoption of the following report (March 16,
1998) from the Director of Road and Traffic Services, Scarborough:
Purpose:
To investigate the need to install a stop sign on Piperbrook Crescent at Ling Road.
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:
Road and Traffic Services staff investigated the need for a stop sign on Piperbrook Crescent at Ling
Road due to the recent development of a residential community to the southeast.
Discussion:
The intersection of Piperbrook Crescent and Ling Road is located to the east of Morningside Avenue,
south of Lawrence Avenue. Ling Road connects to both arterial roadways, therefore, a stop control on
Piperbrook Crescent at Ling Road is considered necessary. It is anticipated that the stop control will be
in place prior to the completion of a new residential development, located on the southeast extension of
Piperbrook Crescent.
A stop sign at this intersection will also clearly define the right-of-way and stop motorists behind the
existing sidewalk. 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 Piperbrook Crescent at Ling Road, will improve traffic operation at
the intersection by defining the right-of-way.
