All Way Stop Control - Athabaska Avenue at Dumont Street -
North York Centre
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (May7,1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 3:
Purpose:
To install an all way stop control at the intersection of Athabaska Avenue and Dumont Street.
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of an all way stop control are included within the 1999 operating budget.
Recommendation:
That Schedules XVIII and XIX of By-law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to require traffic to
stop at all approaches to the intersection of Athabaska Avenue and Dumont Street.
Council Reference/Background/History:
As a result of requests from local residents, staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency
Services Department investigated the feasibility of installing an all way stop control at the intersection of Athabaska
Avenue and Dumont Street.
Currently, eastbound and westbound traffic on Athabaska Avenue is required to stop at Dumont Street.
Discussion:
The results of an all way stop study confirm that the technical requirements for the installation of an all way stop control
have been satisfied at the intersection of Athabaska Avenue at Dumont Street.
The installation of the stop controls will not adversely impact traffic operations on Dumont Street Drive or Athabaska
Avenue. Furthermore, it was observed that a high volume of pedestrians crossed the roadway without the protection of a
stop control.
Conclusions:
The installation of an all way stop control will provide increased protection for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic within
the intersection.
