Stop Control on Ben Stanton Boulevard at
Ben Alder Drive
Ward 15 - Scarborough City Centre
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following
report (June 30, 1998) from the Director of Road and Traffic Services, Scarborough:
Purpose:
To investigate the need to install a northbound stop sign on Ben Stanton Boulevard at Ben
Alder Drive.
Funding Sources Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
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.
Council Reference/Background/History:
At the request of a resident of Benshire Drive, Road and Traffic Services investigated the
need for a northbound stop sign on Ben Stanton Boulevard at Ben Alder Drive.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The intersection of Ben Stanton Boulevard and Ben Alder Drive is located in the
community to the north of Lawrence Avenue, and to the west of Bellamy Road North. Staff
have conducted traffic investigations and determined that due to reduced sight lines at this
"T" type intersection, a northbound stop sign is now warranted to indicate the right-of-way.
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 northbound stop sign on Ben Stanton Boulevard at Ben Alder Drive
will improve traffic operation at the intersection by defining the right-of-way.
