STAFF REPORT
March 3, 2000
To: North York Community Council
From: Roberto Stopnicki, Director, Transportation Services, District 3
Subject:Parking and Stopping Prohibitions: Churchill Avenue
(North York)
Purpose:
To amend the parking and stopping prohibitions on Churchill Avenue, between Senlac Road and Claywood Road.
Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Costs associated with the installation of an all way stop control and removal of the existing PXO, are included within the
Division's Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)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 Kenneth Avenue and McKee Avenue; and
(2)Schedule "A" of By-law No. 30518, of the former City of North York, be amended to delete the Pedestrian Crossover
on Kenneth Avenue, immediately north of McKee Avenue.
Background:
Currently, eastbound and westbound motorists on McKee Avenue are required to stop at Kenneth Avenue. There is an
existing PXO, which is located on the north approach to the intersection. There are all way stop controlled intersections
located one block to the north at Church Avenue, one block to the east at Dudley Avenue, one block to the west at Doris
Avenue and two blocks to the south at Parkview Avenue.
Staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department has reviewed a concern
from Mrs. Sandy Lum, President of McKee Home and School Association, regarding the feasibility of installing an all way
stop control at the intersection of Kenneth Avenue and McKee Avenue.
Mrs. Lum has indicated that with the reorientation of the new McKee Public School, there are numerous near misses
involving both pedestrian and vehicle traffic and the number of collisions seems to be increasing at the Kenneth
Avenue/McKee Avenue intersection.
Comments:
The results of the most recent all way stop study which included a review of collision records, have indicated that during
the preceding three years, there have been thirteen (13) reported right angle incidents. This type of collision is considered
to be preventable by the installation of an all way stop control.
Conclusions:
Considering the number of collisions which have occurred at this intersection within the preceding three years, this
Division would recommend the installation of an all way stop control. The PXO should be removed coincidental with the
all way stop installation.
