Subject:Intersection of Penny Lane and Orchard Park Boulevard - Installation of a northbound "Stop" sign (East Toronto)

Purpose:

To establish right-of-way for vehicles on Orchard Park Boulevard.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Funds to undertake the necessary sign installation in the estimated amount of $200.00 are contained in the Transportation Services Divisions 1999 Current Budget.

Recommendations:

(1)That a "Stop" sign be installed for northbound traffic on Penny Lane at Orchard Park Boulevard; and

(2)That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required.

Comments

At the request of Councillor Tom Jakobek and in consultation with East Toronto Councillor Sandra Bussin staff have investigated installing a northbound "Stop" sign at the subject intersection to improve operational safety and clearly establish right-of-way.

Penny Lane and Orchard Park Boulevard form a T-type intersection with Orchard Park Boulevard being the through road. Penny Lane operates two-way and Orchard Park Boulevard operates one-way southbound. No "Stop" signs are posted at this intersection at the present time.

Based on our assessment, the intersection of Orchard Park Boulevard and Penny Lane satisfies the requirement for a northbound "Stop" control, to clearly establish right-of-way.
