From: Gary H. Welsh, Director, Transportation Services, Works and Emergency
Services, District 4
Subject: Proposed Amendments to Traffic By-law No. 23503
Scarborough City Centre, Scarborough Highland Creek, Scarborough Wexford
Purpose:
To investigate the need for parking regulations and stop controls at various locations.
Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $800.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of parking prohibitions, and with the installation of stop
signs are available in the Transportation Services 2000 budget estimates, Cost Centre No. TP0226.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) the parking regulation identified in Appendix 1 of this report be adopted;
(2) the stop signs identified in Appendix 2 of this report be adopted; and
(3) the appropriate by-laws be amended accordingly.
Background:
Transportation Services has investigated several items related to parking and stop controls. The following proposed
amendments to Traffic By-law 23503 are the results of these investigations.
Comments:
PARKING CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
Medley Crescent - Scarborough City Centre
Transportation Services received a request from the resident of 40 Kilbride Road to extend the existing 15 metre corner
parking prohibition on the east side of Medley Crescent a further 19 metres to the north, adjacent to this residence. We
support extending this prohibition to a point immediately north of the driveway at 40 Kilbride Road to ensure that access to
this driveway is unimpeded by vehicles which regularly park in the area.
COMPULSORY STOPS
Grover Drive - Scarborough Highland Creek
At the request of Councillor Moeser, staff have investigated the need for a stop control at the intersection of Grover Drive
and Magnum Way. In an effort to provide area uniformity in controls and to define the right-of-way, a stop control is
recommended for eastbound Grover Drive at Magnum Way, and southbound Ponymeadow Terrace at Grover Drive. No
tree trimming will be required to accommodate these signs.
Maplelea Road - Scarborough Highland Creek
Transportation Services has identified the need to install a stop control for eastbound Maplelea Road at Zaph Avenue. The
purpose of this stop sign is to define the right-of-way at this intersection and provide area uniformity in controls. No tree
trimming will be required to accommodate this sign.
Nobert Road - Scarborough Wexford
At the request of Councillor Kelly, Transportation Services staff have investigated the need for a stop control on Nobert
Road at Farmcrest Drive. The purpose of this stop sign is to define the right-of-way at this intersection and provide area
uniformity in controls. No tree trimming will be required to accommodate this sign.
Conclusions:
Based on the results of investigations conducted by staff, the parking prohibition and new stop signs outlined in this report
are recommended for approval.
