Stop Control on Highwood Avenue

at Frey Crescent

Ward 14 - Scarborough Wexford

The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (August 25, 1999) from the Director of Transportation Services, District 4:

Purpose:

To investigate the need for a stop control on Highwood Avenue at Frey Crescent.

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 Kelly, Transportation Services investigated the need for a stop sign on Highwood Avenue at Frey Crescent.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

Highwood Avenue is located on the east side of Warden Avenue, south of Lawrence Avenue. At present, the "T" intersection of Highwood Avenue at Frey Crescent 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 Highwood 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 Highwood Avenue at Frey Crescent.
