Stop Sign on Suraty Avenue at Kencliff Crescent
Ward 15 - Scarborough City Centre
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(September 15, 1998) from the Director of Transportation Services, District 4:
Purpose:
To investigate the need to install an eastbound stop sign on Suraty Avenue at Kencliff
Crescent.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $150.00 (approximate) funds, associated with the installation of the stop sign is available
in the Transportation Services 1998 Budget, Account No. 20000-70200-72240.
Recommendations:
(1)the stop sign identified in Appendix 1 of this report be approved; and
(2)the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly.
Council Reference/Background/History:
At the request of an area resident, staff investigated the need for an all-way stop control at the
intersection of Kencliff Crescent and Suraty Avenue.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The intersection of Kencliff Crescent and Suraty Avenue is in the residential community west
of McCowan Road and north of Lawrence Avenue. Both streets are low volume local
residential roads. At present, this is an uncontrolled "T" type intersection.
Although the all-way stop control warrants are far from being satisfied, a stop control is
recommended on Suraty Avenue to define the right-of-way. This stop sign will also stop
motorists behind the sidewalk on the west side of the road and will make this intersection
uniform with the other intersections in the area which also have stop signs on the minor
streets. Some tree trimming will be required to provide appropriate visibility of this sign.
Conclusions:
A stop sign is recommended on Suraty Avenue at Kencliff Crescent for area uniformity and to
clearly define the right-of-way at this intersection.
