Subject: All Way Stop Control: Dell Park Avenue at Englemount Avenue

(North York Spadina)

Purpose:

To install an all way stop control at the intersection of Dell Park Avenue and Englemount Avenue.

Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

All costs associated with the installation of the all way stop is included within the Division's 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 on all approaches to the intersection of Dell Park Avenue and Englemount Avenue.

Background:

Staff of the Transportation Services Division has investigated the existing traffic operations at the intersection of Dell Park Avenue and Englemount Avenue to determine whether an all way stop control is required.

Currently, eastbound and westbound traffic on Dell Park Avenue is required to stop at Englemount Avenue.

Comments:

Englemount Avenue is a north/south roadway, which travels between Lawrence Avenue West and Viewmount Avenue. Northbound and southbound traffic is currently required to stop at Glengrove Avenue and Glencairn Avenue. There are traffic control signals at the intersection with Lawrence Avenue West. The recently constructed Glen Park Public School has frontage onto Englemount Avenue.

A review of the intersection collision history revealed that within the past three years there have been 10 incidents, of a type considered preventable by installing on all way stop control, which could indicate a need for right of way control.

Given the increase in the collision history and the new school on Englemount Avenue, this division supports the installation of an all way stop control.

Conclusions:

The installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Dell Park Avenue and Englemount Avenue will provide an increase in the level of safety for the students attending the Glen Park Public School and reduce the right of way conflicts at the intersection.
