Stop Signs on the Streets intersecting Meldazy Drive
Ward 15 - Scarborough City Centre
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (June 3, 1998) from the
Director of Road and Traffic Services, Scarborough:
Purpose:
To provide Through Street status to Meldazy Drive in order to place stop controls on all intersecting roads.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $300.00 (approximate) funds, associated with the installation of two stop signs, is available in the Roads and Traffic
Services 1998 Budget, Account No. 20000-70200-72240
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the stop signs identified in Appendix 1 of this report be rescinded;
(2)the stop signs identified in Appendix 2 of this report be adopted; and
(3)the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly.
Council Reference/Background/History:
At the request of Councillor Brad Duguid, on behalf of an area resident, Road and Traffic Services investigated the need
for a stop control southbound on Manorwood Road at Meldazy Drive.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The intersection of Manorwood Road and Meldazy Drive is located in a residential community south of Brimorton Drive,
and west of McCowan Road. Manorwood Road is a minor local road, while Meldazy Drive functions as a residential
collector road. Due to mature trees and hedges located at this intersection, sight lines are reduced for motorists exiting from
Manorwood Road onto Meldazy Drive. A stop control is now warranted to define the right-of-way and to increase the level
of safety at this intersection.
In an effort to provide area uniformity, it is purposed that Through Street status be applied to Meldazy Drive. This would
provide the authority to install a stop sign on all roadways intersecting Meldazy Drive. Currently, the only two
intersections not controlled by stop signs are, Manorwood Road at Meldazy Drive and Kencliff Crescent (west intersection)
at Meldazy Drive.
Conclusions:
Stop signs are recommended for the streets intersecting Meldazy Drive to provide area uniformity in traffic controls and
define the right-of-way.
