Proposed Stop Control on
Chestermere Boulevard at Farmbrook Crescent
Ward 15 - Scarborough City Centre
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(January 5, 1999) from the Director of Transportation Services, District 4:
Purpose:
To investigate the need for a stop control to clearly establish the right-of-way at the
intersection of Chestermere Boulevard and Farmbrook Crescent.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $150.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of a stop sign is available in
the Transportation Services 1999 budget estimates, Account No. 20000-70200-72240.
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 Brad Duguid's office, on behalf of a constituent, staff
investigated the need for a stop control on Chestermere Boulevard at Farmbrook Crescent.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Chestermere Boulevard and Farmbrook Crescent are local roadways located in a residential
subdivision, east of Bellamy Road North, between Eglinton Avenue and Lawrence Avenue.
Chestermere Boulevard forms a "T" type intersection at Farmbrook Crescent.
Staff investigated this matter and recommend a stop sign westbound on Chestermere
Boulevard. Stopping motorists in advance of the sidewalk will assist children crossing at this
intersection going to and from Cedarbook Junior Public School and more clearly define the
right-of-way. The school is located on the west side of Farmbrook Crescent, immediately
south of this intersection.
Conclusions:
Based on the need to more clearly define the right-of-way, a stop sign is recommended on
Chestermere Boulevard at Farmbrook Crescent.
