All Way Stop Control -
Florence Avenue at Radine Road -
North York Centre
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (September 3, 1998) from
the Director, Transportation Services, District 3:
Purpose:
To install an all way stop control at the intersection of Florence Avenue at Radine Road.
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of an all way stop control are included within the 1998 operating budget.
Recommendation:
That Schedules XVIII and XIX of By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to require traffic to
stop at all approaches to the intersection of Florence Avenue and Radine Road.
Council Reference/Background/History:
The area residents, by means of the attached petition, have requested that staff of the Transportation Division of the Works
and Emergency Services Department once again investigate the installation of an all way stop control at the Florence
Avenue/Radine Road intersection.
Currently, eastbound and westbound traffic on Florence Avenue is required to stop and Radine Road. Traffic on Radine
Road travels unrestricted from Poyntz Avenue to the north and Cameron Avenue to the south. The Cameron Avenue
Elementary School is located one block to the south at the intersection of Radine Road and Cameron Avenue.
A historical review of the intersection has indicated that several all way stop studies have been conducted, during which the
technical requirements for the installation of an all way stop control were not satisfied.
Discussion:
During the completion of the most recent all way stop study, it was noted that overall the intersection pedestrian and
vehicle traffic volumes have increased, resulting in the technical warrants for the installation of an all way stop control
being satisfied.
The installation of the additional stop controls will not adversely impact traffic operations on Radine Road or Florence
Avenue and should not result in the displacement of traffic to other adjacent roadways.
Conclusions:
Staff of this division supports the installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Florence Avenue and Radine
Road as it would provide additional protection for all road users as well as not diverting traffic to other adjacent roadways.
