Subject:Stop Control on Payne Avenue at Zaph Avenue, Scarborough Highland Creek
Purpose:
To investigate the need for a stop control on Payne Avenue at Zaph Avenue.
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-TP0226.
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 and former Councillor Faubert, Transportation Services investigated the need for a
stop sign on Payne Avenue at Zaph Avenue.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Zaph Avenue is located on the north side of Ellesmere Road, west of Meadowvale Road. At present, the "T" intersection of
Payne Avenue at Zaph Avenue is uncontrolled. A review of the collision history for the past three years (January 1, 1996 to
December 31, 1998) did not reveal any reported collisions at this intersection. However, a stop control eastbound on Payne
Avenue would clearly define the right-of-way. No tree trimming will be required to install this sign.
Conclusions:
As a result of our review of this location, a stop control is recommended on Payne Avenue at Zaph Avenue.
