To:Chairman and Members of the Scarborough Community Council

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

Subject:Cedar Brae Boulevard Stop Controls, Scarborough City Centre

Purpose:

To investigate the need for a stop control on Amarillo Drive at Cedar Brae Boulevard; Braeburn Boulevard at Cedar Brae Boulevard; and Fairway Drive at Cedar Brae Boulevard.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

The $450.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of stop signs are available in the Transportation Services 1999 budget, Account No. 100-TP10226.

Recommendations:

(1) the stop signs identified in Appendix 1 of this report be rescinded;

(2)the stop signs identified in Appendix 2 of this report be adopted; and

(3)the appropriate by-laws be amended accordingly.

Council Reference/Background/History:

At the request of the Toronto Police Service, Transportation Services investigated the need for a stop control on Braeburn Boulevard at Cedar Brae Boulevard. A collision at this location prompted this request. Unfortunately, we have not received a copy of this report from the police.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

Cedar Brae Boulevard runs north from Bellamy Road North, immediately north of Eglinton Avenue. At present, the intersecting roadways of Danmary Road, Grace Street (all-way stop control),and Nelson Street, are all controlled by stop signs at Cedar Brae Boulevard. The remaining intersecting roadways of Amarillo Drive, Braeburn Boulevard, and Fairway Drive are uncontrolled. It is the intent of this report to by-law Cedar Brae Boulevard as a "Through Street", thus designating all intersecting roadways as stop streets.

Conclusions:

As a result of our review of this area, a stop sign on all roadways intersecting Cedar Brae Boulevard will clearly define the right-of-way, as well as providing area uniformity in traffic controls.
