The Toronto Community Council submits the following report (September 28, 1998) from Director, Transportation Services District 1:

Purpose:

To establish clear right-of-way and improve the overall operating safety of this intersection.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not Applicable

Recommendations:

(1)That a "Stop" sign be installed for eastbound traffic on Violet Avenue at Wineva Avenue; and

(2)That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required.

Comments

At the request of residents in the vicinity of the intersection of Violet Avenue and Wineva Avenue and in consultation with East Toronto Councillors Tom Jakobek and Sandra Bussin, staff have investigated installing all-way AStop@ sign control at this intersection to improve operational safety.

Wineva Avenue and Violet Avenue form a T-type intersection with Wineva Avenue being the through road. Both streets operate with two-way traffic.

It has been determined that the intersection of Wineva Avenue and Violet Avenue does not satisfy the requirement for all-way AStop@ sign control.

Sight lines at the intersection are limited (because of a large tree) for eastbound motorists exiting Violet Avenue. Considering the foregoing, and that no AStop@ sign control is currently present at this intersection an eastbound AStop@ sign should be installed at the intersection of Wineva Avenue and Violet Avenue to clearly establish right-of-way.
