Subject:Stop Street and Through Highway Designations:

Bluewater Court and Fleeceline Road

(Lakeshore-Queensway)

Purpose:

To propose the installation of Stop Controls on Bluewater Court at the east and west approaches to Harbourview Crescent, and the designation of Fleeceline Road as a through highway between the north limit of Lake Shore Boulevard West and the south limit Harbourview Crescent.

Funding Sources:

The funds associated with the installation of regulatory signs are contained in the Transportation Services Division's Operating Budget.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1)a stop control be installed at the west approach of the east intersection of Bluewater Court and Harbourview Crescent;

(2)a stop control be installed at the east approach of the west intersection of Bluewater Court and Harbourview Crescent;

(3)Fleeceline Road be designated a through highway between the north limit of LakeShore Boulevard West and the south limit of Harbourview Crescent; and

(4)the associated by-laws (Attachments No. 1 and 2) receive Council approval.

Background:

Bluewater Court and Fleeceline Road are part of the road network within the townhome developments east, west and north of Fleeceline Road. The roadways in this subdivision have been accepted for performance by the City. A map of the area is Attachment No. 3.

Comments:

Currently all the intersections within this subdivision are uncontrolled. Designating FleecelineRoad a through highway between the north limit of Lake Shore Boulevard West and the south limit of Harbourview Crescent will allow for the installation of stop controls at the east approaches of the intersections of Greystone Court and Fleeceline Road; and Granite Court and Fleeceline Road. Also, a stop control would be installed at the south approach of Fleeceline Road and HabourviewCrescent.

Installing stop controls on Bluewater Court at both intersections of Harbourview Crescent and Bluewater Court effectively makes Harbourview Crescent a through road.

Conclusions:

The aforementioned by-laws are required to create through roads and allow for stop controls to be installed, in order to safely manage the flow of traffic.
