Subject: All Way Stop Control: Glenmount Avenue at Fairholme Avenue

North York Spadina

Purpose:

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

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 Glenmount Avenue and Fairholme Avenue.

Background:

The Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department has reviewed a request from Councillor Michael Feldman to install an all way stop control at the intersection of Glenmount Avenue and Fairholme Avenue.

Comments:

Currently, eastbound and westbound motorists on Fairholme Avenue are required to stop at Glenmount Avenue. Motorist and pedestrian sight lines were reviewed and found to be excellent on all approaches to this intersection.

The results of the most recent all way stop study concluded that the technical requirements for the installation of an all way stop control have been satisfied.

Conclusions:

The installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Glenmount Avenue and Fairholme Avenue will improve the level of safety for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
