All Way Stop Control -

Exbury Road and Parent Avenue -

North York Black Creek

The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (October 22, 1998) from the Director, Transportation Services, District 3:

Purpose:

To install an all way stop control, to improve pedestrian and motorist safety, at the intersection of Exbury Road and Parent Avenue.

Source of Funds:

All costs associated with the installation of an all way stop control are included within the 1998 operating budget.

Recommendation:

That Schedule XVIII and XIX of the former North York By-law No. 31001 be amended to require traffic to stop on all approaches to the intersection of Exbury Road and Parent Avenue.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, northbound and southbound motorists on Exbury are required to stop at Parent Avenue.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

On numerous occasions, over the past several years, residents have identified a concern for safety, particularly pedestrians, at the intersection of Exbury Road and Parent Avenue. As a result of those concerns, all way stop studies were undertaken.

Although the technical warrants for the installation of an all way stop control have not been satisfied, current traffic operations would support the need for an all way stop control.

As Parent Avenue, to the east of Exbury Road, is slightly skewed, motorists travelling westbound experience difficulties in viewing southbound traffic on Exbury Road. This, in association with the number of pedestrians generated by St. Conrad Separate School to the east on Parent Avenue, would generate a need for an all way stop control.

Conclusions:

In order to increase the safety level for pedestrian staff of the Transportation Services Division, Works and Emergency Services Department, support the installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Exbury Road and Parent Avenue.
