Subject:Stop Control Eastbound on Halfmoon Square at Halfmoon Square, Scarborough Highland Creek
Purpose:
To investigate the need for a stop sign eastbound on Halfmoon Square at Halfmoon 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:
It is recommended that:
(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 Councillor Moeser's office , Transportation Services investigated the need for a stop control eastbound on
Halfmoon Square at Halfmoon Square.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Halfmoon Square is located in the residential community north of Ellesmere Road, east of Conlins 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, 1995 to May 31, 1998 did not reveal any reported collisions at this intersection. However, a stop sign
eastbound on Halfmoon 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 Halfmoon Square where it intersects
Halfmoon Square to clearly define the right-of-way at this intersection.
