Subject:All Way Stop Control: Fairmeadow Avenue at Upper Canada Drive
North York Centre South
Purpose:
To install an all way stop control, to improve pedestrian and motorist safety, at the intersection of Fairmeadow Avenue and
Upper Canada Drive.
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the all way stop control are included within the 1999 operating budget.
Recommendations:
That Schedules XVIII and XIX of By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to require traffic to
stop on all approaches to the intersection of Fairmeadow Avenue and Upper Canada Drive.
Comments:
With the termination of the Upper Canada Drive traffic management plan, the members of the St. Andrews Traffic
Committee requested a review to determine the feasibility of installing an all way stop control at the intersection of
Fairmeadow Avenue and Upper Canada Drive.
As a result of that request, staff of the Transportation Services Division completed an all way stop study. The results of the
study concluded that the existing traffic operations satisfy the requirements for the installation of an all way stop control.
Background:
Currently, southbound motorists on Fairmeadow Avenue are required to stop at Upper Canada Drive. The above noted
roadways form a "T" intersection.
Conclusions:
The installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Upper Canada Drive and Fairmeadow Avenue, will
improve the level of safety for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic within the intersection.
