To:Chairman and Members of the Scarborough Community Council

From:Gary H. Welsh, Director, Transportation Services, Works and Emergency Services, District 4

Subject:Stop Signs on Adenmore Road, Brimforest Gate and Trellanock Avenue, Scarborough Highland Creek

Purpose:

To investigate the need to install stop signs at intersecting roadways in the new residential community located in the northeast quadrant of Lawrence Avenue and Port Union Road.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

The $750.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of stop signs is available in the Transportation Services 1999 budget estimates, Account No. 20000-70200-72240.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1)the stop signs identified in Appendix 1 of this report be adopted; and

(2)the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly.

Council Reference/Background/History:

At the request of Councillor Moeser's office, staff investigated the need for stop signs at intersecting roadways in the new residential community to the northeast of the intersection of Lawrence Avenue and Port Union Road.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

There are five "T" intersections within this new residential community. Currently, stop signs are not posted in the development, with the exception of on Adenmore Road at Port Union Road and on Brimforest Gate at Lawrence Avenue.

In an effort to establish area uniformity of traffic controls, as well as clearly defining the right-of-way, stop signs are recommended at all intersecting roadways in this community.

Conclusions:

Based on the results of staff investigations stop signs are recommended at the following "T" type intersections:

(i)Brimforest Gate at Adenmore Road;

(ii)Moorefield Drive at Brimforest Gate;

(iii)Moorefield Drive at Trellanock Avenue;

(iv)Trellanock Avenue at Adenmore Road; and

(v)Trellanock Avenue at Brimforest Gate.
