August 24, 1999
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 in the New Residential Subdivision in the Area of St. Clair Avenue and Warden Avenue,
Scarborough Bluffs
Purpose:
To investigate the need for stop controls on the new residential streets intersecting Fairfax Crescent, Herron Avenue and
Moreau Trail.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $1,000.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of stop signs are available in the Transportation
Services 1999 budget, Account No. 100-TP0226.
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(1)the stop signs identified in Appendix 1 of this report be rescinded;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 their meeting of June 22, 1999, Scarborough Community Council approved left-turn prohibitions, in effect from 7:00
a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, at the following intersections:
a)Georgina Gate at Herron Avenue;
b)Lioba Drive at Herron Avenue;
c)Moreau Trail at Herron Avenue;
d)Vianney Avenue at Herron Avenue; and
e)Monastery Lane at Fairfax Crescent.
Transportation Services has since investigated the need for stop controls at these same locations and others within the same
newly-developed residential area.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The subject intersections are located within two new residential developments which are situated to the south-west and
north-west of the intersection of St. Clair Avenue and Warden Avenue. At present, some occupancy of the residential
homes in this community has taken place, while other homes are still being constructed.
It is appropriate to supplement the aforementioned turn prohibitions with stop controls on the minor streets to clearly
define the right-of-way at these intersections. For area uniformity, we are also recommending that stop signs be installed on
the three streets intersecting Moreau Trail in the residential community south of St. Clair Avenue.
Conclusions:
The aforementioned stop signs are recommended to clearly define the rights-of-way for the general public.
