Subject:Stop Control Eastbound on United Square at United Square, Scarborough Malvern
Purpose:
To investigate the need for a stop sign eastbound on United Square at United Square.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $150.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of a stop sign are available in the Transportation Services
1999 budget, Account No. 100-TP10226.
Recommendations:
(1)the stop sign 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 a resident of United Square, Transportation Services investigated the need for a stop control eastbound on
United Square at United Square.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
United Square is located in the residential community south of Sheppard Avenue, west of Neilson Road. At present, no
stop controls are erected at this "T" intersection. A review of the collision history for the past three years and five month
period, January 1, 1996 to May 31, 1998 did not reveal any reported collisions at this intersection. However, a stop sign
eastbound on United Square would clearly define the right-of-way and stop motorists in advance of the sidewalk on the
west side of the street. No tree trimming will be required to install this sign.
Conclusions:
As a result of our review of this location, a stop sign is recommended eastbound on United Square where it intersects
United Square to clearly define the right-of-way at this intersection.
