From: Roberto Stopnicki, Director, Transportation Services, District 3

Subject: All Way Stop Control: Drewry Avenue at Chelmsford Avenue

(North York Centre)

Purpose:

To install an all way stop control at the intersection of Drewry Avenue and Chelmsford Avenue.

Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

All costs associated with the installation of an all way stop control are included within the 1999 operating budget.

Recommendations:

It is recommended 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 Drewry Avenue and Chelmsford Avenue.

Background:

As a result of concerns from local residents, the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department reviewed traffic operations on Drewry Avenue, which included all way stop studies at the intersections of Drewry Avenue with Norwin Street, Theresa Avenue, Cactus Avenue, Chelmsford Avenue, Brill Crescent and Swiss Court.

Comments:

The results of the studies have indicated that the warrants for the installation of an all way stop control are satisfied at the intersection of Drewry Avenue and Chelmsford Avenue. Currently, southbound traffic on Chelmsford Avenue is required to stop at Drewry Avenue.

Conclusions:

The installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Drewry Avenue and Chelmsford Avenue will improve traffic conditions at the intersection.
