Stop Sign on Wetherby Drive at Shaddock Crescent
Ward 15 - Scarborough City Centre
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(September 25, 1998) from the Director of Transportation Services, District 4:
Purpose:
To investigate the need to install a northbound stop sign on Wetherby Drive at Shaddock
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:
It is recommended that:
(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, Road and Traffic Services investigated the need for an
all-way stop control at the intersection of Wetherby Drive and Shaddock Crescent, and for a
40 kilometre per hour speed limit on Wetherby Drive.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The intersection of Wetherby Drive and Shaddock Crescent is in the residential community
between Brimley Road and Danforth Road just north of Eglinton Avenue. Both streets are low
volume local residential roads. At present, this is an uncontrolled "T" type intersection.
Although both the all-way stop control warrant and the 40 kilometre per hour speed limit
warrant are far from being satisfied, a stop control is recommended on Shaddock Crescent at
Wetherby Drive to define the right-of-way. Sight lines are slightly restricted by hedges in the
area of the intersection.
Conclusions:
A stop sign is recommended on Shaddock Crescent at Wetherby Drive to clearly define the
right-of-way at this intersection.
