(east leg) and Invermay Avenue.
Council Reference:
North York Community Council, at its meeting of March 30, 1999, deferred a decision on the
installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of Invermay Avenue and King High
Avenue (east leg) until staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and
Emergency Services Department were able to determine whether community support existed.
Background:
Currently, northbound motorists on King High Avenue are required to stop at Invermay
Avenue.
The Transportation Services Division reviewed a request from a resident to consider the
installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of King High Avenue (east leg) and
Invermay Avenue.
The results of the most recent all way stop study concluded that the technical requirements for
the installation of an all way stop control were satisfied.
History:
Upon completing an investigation for the implementation of an all way stop control at the
intersection of King High Avenue (east leg) and Invermay Avenue, a report was prepared by
the Transportation Services Division for inclusion on the March 30, 1999 agenda of the North
York Community Council. The report recommended the installation of an all way stop control
as a means of providing right of way control for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic through
the intersection.
Upon receiving notice of the recommendation for the installation of an all way stop control,
several residents within the community submitted a petition to the North York Community
Council requesting that the all way stop control not be installed. The decision of the North
York Community Council was to defer the item to the next meeting, during which time the
local residents could be contacted for comments.
The result of a petition, forwarded to local residents through Councillor Michael Feldman's
office, indicated that the community supports the installation of the all way stop control.
Comments:
The installation of an all way stop control was reviewed and the existing intersection traffic
volumes satisfy the technical requirements for the installation of an all way stop control. Local
residents have provided, through a petition, their support to the installation.
Conclusions:
In view of the previous review and the support of the local residents, the Transportation
Services Division supports the installation of an all way stop control at the intersection of
King High Avenue (east leg) and Invermay Avenue.
