From: Richard Holborn
Director, Engineering & Public Works
Subject: All -way Stop Control Review, Maple Ridge Drive
- File: A -1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report ENG 10 -15 of the Director, Engineering & Public Works regarding an
all -way stop review on Maple Ridge Drive be received;
2. That the attached by -law be enacted to amend Schedule "7" to By -law 6604/05 to
provide for the regulation of stop signs on highways or parts of highways under the
jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering, specifically to address the
proposed relocation of the existing all -way stop control at the intersection of Maple
Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive to_the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Maple
Gate Road /Pebbiestone Crescent; and
3. That a yellow centreline be placed along the curve on Maple Ridge Drive between
Harvest Drive and Bushmill Street and a warning sign be installed for eastbound
traffic before the bend.
Executive Summary: In May 2014, an all -way stop control was installed at the
intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive, as a means to assist pedestrians
crossing Maple Ridge Drive, and to slow down traffic on Maple Ridge Drive, particularly
at the curve between Harvest Drive and Bushmill Street where the majority of collisions
were occurring.
The City of Pickering has received two petitions from area residents since the
installation of the all -way stop control requesting the following action:
1. relocate the all -way stop control further west to the intersection of Maple Ridge
Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebbiestone Crescent (signed by 294 residents)
2. have the all -way stop control remain at Maple Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive
(signed by 29 residents)
At the September 15, 2014 Council meeting, staff were directed to complete further
public consultation with area residents regarding the location of the all -way stop control,
and to report the findings and a recommendation to City Council.

Community consultation with area residents within the Maple Ridge Neighbourhood
commenced on March 18, 2015 and ended on April 14, 2015.
In recognition of all the responses received from the community consultation,
Engineering & Public Works staff support the recommendation originally presented in
Report ENG 05 -14, and recommends that the municipal Traffic By -law 6604/05 be
amended to reflect the removal of the all -way stop control at the intersection of Maple
Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive and for the installation of an all -way stop control at the
• intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent.
Also, to assist motorists with navigating the curve on Maple Ridge Drive between
Harvest Drive and Bushmill Street; Engineering & Public Works staff recommend that a
yellow centreline be placed along the curve and a warning sign be installed for
eastbound traffic before the bend.
Financial Implications: The relocation of stops signs, advance warning signs, and
stop bar and pavement markings from the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and
Harvest Drive to the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate
Road /Pebblestone Crescent, as well as, curve warning signage and a yellow centreline
for the curve on Maple Ridge Drive can be accommodated within the 2015 Roads
Current Budget.
Discussion: On September 16, 2013 Pickering City Council passed
Resolution #106/13 (Attachment 1) for staff to review Maple Ridge Drive between_ Dixie
Road and Finch Avenue for safe opportunities for pedestrians to cross citing a number
of amenities to access. On October 3, 2013 residents of Maple Ridge Drive and
surrounding areas submitted a petition to the City, signed by 50 residents, requesting
the installation of an all -way stop control on Maple Ridge Drive at either Maple Gate
Road /Pebblestone Crescent or Harvest Drive to address traffic concerns.
In response to Council Resolution # 106/13, staff completed a detailed review of Maple
Ridge Drive to determine safe locations for pedestrians to cross. Based on the review,
staff recommended placement of an all -way stop control at the intersection of Maple
Ridge Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent.
Report ENG 05 -14 (Attachment 2), which detailed the staff review and recommended
the installation of an all -way stop control at Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate
Road /Pebblestone Crescent was presented to the Executive Committee on February 3,
2014.
On February 24, 2014, at the regular Council meeting, Pickering City Council passed
Resolution #184/14 (Attachment 3) for an all -way stop control to be installed at the
intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive.

Subject: All -way Stop Control Review, Maple Ridge Drive Page 5
Many of the residents in favour of the relocation of the all -way stop control indicated that
they would like it moved for the following reasons:
• more pedestrians cross at Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone
Crescent than at Maple Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive
• Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent is a busier
intersection than Maple Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive
• since installation of the all -way stop control at Maple Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive
cut - through traffic on Harvest Drive has increased since many residents use the all -
way stop control to turn onto Maple Ridge Drive
Most residents that would like the all -way stop control to remain at Maple Ridge Drive
and Harvest Drive indicated that they would like it to remain for the following reasons:
• the all -way stop control at the . intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive
has slowed down traffic around the bend, which is why the residents had originally
asked for an all -way stop control to begin with
• relocation of the all -way stop control is not necessary as the current all -way stop
control is working
• the existing all -way stop control provides a level of safety for people walking along
the curve as cars are forced to slow down
Staff recommends the relocation of the all -way stop control from Maple Ridge
Drive and Harvest Drive to Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone
Crescent
In recognition of all the responses received, Engineering & Public Works staff support
the recommendation originally presented in Report ENG 05 -14 and recommend that the
municipal Traffic By -law 6604/05 be amended to reflect the removal of the all -way stop
control at the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Harvest Drive and the installation of
an all -way stop control at the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate
Road /Pebblestone Crescent.
Also, to assist motorists with navigating the curve, city staff recommend that a yellow
centerline be placed at the curve on Maple Ridge Drive between Harvest Drive and
Bushmill Street and a warning sign be installed for eastbound traffic before the bend.
The relocation of the all -way stop control to Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate
Road /Pebblestone Crescent and proposed curve warning signage and yellow centreline
pavement marking is shown graphically in Attachment 4. The draft by -law amendment
to Schedule "7" of by -law 6604/05 is presented in Attachment 5.

Frequent Pedestrian Crossings and Safety Initiatives on Maple Ridge
Drive
Council Decision Resolution #106/13
Whereas: the residents of the Maple Ridge Neighbourhood have expressed safety
concerns with traffic and safe opportunities for pedestrians to cross Maple Ridge Drive
between Dixie Road and Finch Avenue.
Whereas: there are a number of amenities for pedestrians to access including: two
elementary schools; Maple Ridge Public School and St. Isaac Jogues Catholic School;
Maple Ridge Park, and Maple Ridge Plaza, that necessitate crossing Maple Ridge
Drive.
Whereas: there is presently only one stop sign location at the intersection of Maple
Ridge Drive and Bushmill Street that provides for a safe crossing location, and that this
intersection is too far out of the way and impractical for most pedestrians crossing to the
amenities.
Now therefore be it resolved;
1. That staff be directed to review the matter regarding frequent pedestrian
crossings of Maple Ridge Drive and other traffic calming measures to determine
opportunities of safe crossing points through the establishment of stop signs or
other means.

- File: - A 1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report ENG 05 -14 of the Director, Engineering & Public Works regarding the
proposed installation of an all -way stop control at Maple Ridge Drive and Maple
Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent be received;
2. That the attached draft by -law be enacted to amend Schedule "7" to By -law 6604/05
to provide for the regulation of stop signs on highways or parts of highways under
the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering, specifically to address the
proposed installation of all -way stop control at the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive
and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent.
Executive Summary: In response to residents' concerns and Resolution #106/13
from Pickering City Council regarding traffic concerns on Maple Ridge Drive including
opportunities for safe pedestrian crossings, staff have completed a review of traffic
volumes, undertook observations of vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and engaged the
community through a consultation process. The consultation process determined that
the majority of residents supported an all -way stop at the intersection of Maple Ridge
Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent. Therefore, based on the results of
the community consultation and to allow for a safe crossing location on Maple Ridge
Drive for pedestrians given that there are a number of amenities in the surrounding area
including Maple Ridge Public School, St. Issac Jogues Catholic School, St Issac Jogues
Church, Maple Ridge Park and Maple Ridge Plaza and that there is only one existing
crossing location at Maple Ridge Drive and Bushmill Street, Engineering & Public Works
staff recommends the placement of an all -way stop at the intersection of Maple Ridge
Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent. In addition based on the review,
staff recommends that the existing stop ahead sign for eastbound traffic approaching
the existing all -way stop at the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Bushmill Road be
moved further west to allow more distance in between the warning sign and the existing
all -way stop.

Financial Implications: The installation of stops signs, advance warning signs and
stop bar pavement markings can be accommodated within the Roads current budget.
Discussion: On April 16, 2013 a single motor vehicle accident occurred on
Maple Ridge Drive that resulted in a vehicle driving over several properties on the north
side of the road between Harvest Drive and Bushmill Street. The accident was an
isolated incident, however, it prompted several residents to contact city staff and city
officials to express safety concerns with traffic and safe opportunities for pedestrians to
cross Maple Ridge Drive. Staff spoke with the residents at that time and initiated a
traffic study to determine if an all -way stop would be warranted. The Durham Regional
Police and ROAD WATCH performed speed enforcement on the roadway during this
period and found that vehicles were driving, on average, approximately 50 km /h.
On September 16, 2013 Pickering City Council passed Resolution #106/13 (Attachment
1) for staff to review Maple Ridge Drive between Dixie Road and Finch Avenue for safe
opportunities to cross citing a number of amenities for pedestrians to access including
two elementary schools; Maple Ridge Public School and St. Isaac Jogues Catholic
School; St Issac jogues Church, Maple Ridge Park, and Maple Ridge Plaza, that
necessitate crossing Maple Ridge Drive. Currently there is only one crossing location
on Maple Ridge Drive at Bushmill Street between Dixie Road and Finch Avenue. The
residents of Maple Ridge Drive and surrounding areas then submitted a petition to the
City on October 3, 2013 requesting an additional all -way stop on Maple Ridge Drive at
either Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent or Harvest Drive to address concerns.
City staffs review of Maple Ridge Drive included the following:
• Collection of pedestrian volumes, vehicle volumes and vehicular speeds
• Completion of municipal all -way stop warrants on Maple Ridge Drive at the
intersections of Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent, Harvest Drive and
Fieldstone Circle
• Observations of vehicle and pedestrian traffic
• Review of existing signs and pavement markings
The results of the review and recommendations are presented in the following sections.
Intersection Counts, Sightlines and Collision History indicate that additional all -
way stops are not required along Maple Ridge Drive
To determine if an additional all -way stop is necessary on Maple Ridge Drive staff
completed municipal all -way stop warrants, in accordance with the City's Safer Streets
Traffic Management Strategy. The City's all -way stop warrant calculates whether an all -
way stop is required. The all -way stop warrant takes traffic volumes, reported collision
history and sightlines into consideration.

Eight -hour vehicle and pedestrian turning movement counts were completed on Maple
Ridge Drive at the intersections of Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent, Harvest
Drive and Fieldstone Circle. The counts were completed between September 10, 2013
to September 12, 2013. The specific time periods counted were 7am to 9am, 11 am to
1 pm and 2pm to 6pm. The intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate
Road /Pebblestone Crescent also had an eight -hour turning movement count completed
on June 12, 2013, however, the September count produced higher traffic volumes,
therefore the September count was used in the analysis.
Based on the turning movement counts, the busiest intersection for both traffic entering
and pedestrians crossing Maple Ridge Drive is the intersection of Maple Gate
Road /Pebblestone Crescent. There were 60 pedestrians crossing Maple Ridge Drive
during the 8 -hour count at Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent. The peak hour for
both vehicular and pedestrian traffic for the morning and afternoon periods at the
intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent are 7:45
am to 8:45 am and 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
The reported collision history for Maple Ridge Drive indicates that there were four
reported collisions on the roadway between Dixie Road and Bushmill Street during the
previous five year period. None of these collisions would be correctable through the
installation of an all -way stop.
At all studied intersections, there are sufficient sightlines based on the posted speed
limit to see oncoming vehicles along Maple Ridge Drive in both the eastbound and
westbound directions.
Overall, the all -way stop warrant requirements were not fulfilled for the intersections of
Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent, Harvest Drive and Fieldstone Circle on Maple
Ridge Drive. The all -way stop warrants can be found in Attachment 2, Attachment 3 and
Attachment 4.
Speed data indicates the existing operating speed of the roadway would not
warrant traffic calming measures
Speed data was collected between September 17, 2013 and September 19, 2013 for
Maple Ridge Drive. Based on the speed study, the 85th percentile speed, which is the
speed at which 85 percent of the traffic is travelling at or below, is 50 km /h for both
eastbound and westbound traffic. The posted speed limit is 40 km/h. An operating
speed of 10 km /h over the speed limit would not warrant a need for traffic calming
measures according to the City's Safer Streets Traffic Management Strategy.
Community Consultation indicates the Majority of residents are in favour of an
all -way stop at Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent
Community consultation commenced on October 11, 2013 and completed on November
8, 2013. A letter from City staff was sent to approximately 420 homes on Maple Ridge

Drive, Maple Gate Road, Cedarwood Court, Pebblestone Crescent, Cedarcroft
Crescent, Harvest Drive, and Fieldstone Circle. The letter provided area residents with
an opportunity to consider either an all -way stop at the intersection of Maple Ridge
Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent, an all -way stop at Maple Ridge
Drive at Harvest Drive, or consider no all -way stops on Maple Ridge Drive, and invited
them to submit comments and /or suggestions, as well as to indicate their support or
opposition.
The consultation generated 76 replies representing approximately 18% of the homes
canvassed. The results of the community consultation can be summarized as follows:
Location
Number of
Replies
41 (54%)
In support of an all -way stop on Maple Ridge Drive @
Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent
In support of an all -way stop on Maple Ridge Drive @
Harvest Drive
23
(30 %)
Opposed to any new stop signs on Maple Ridge Drive
12
(16%)
Total
76
(100 %)
The residents that were opposed to any new stop signs on Maple Ridge Drive noted
that the existing all -way stop at Maple Ridge Drive and Bushmill Street requires
enforcement, and that any additional stops on Maple Ridge Drive would disrupt traffic
flow.
Fieldstone Circle was mentioned as an alternative set of stop signs in place of Harvest
Drive by a few residents, however, this intersection is too close to the existing all -way
stop at Bushmill Street and would be near the apex of a curve, which is not ideal for
motorists and pedestrians alike. It was brought to City staffs attention that the all -way
stop at the intersection of Bowler Drive and Kitley Avenue is also is a curve. The
intersection of Bowler Drive and Kitley Avenue however presents greater sightlines than
that of Maple Ridge Drive and Fieldstone Circle as the curve has a higher radius, which
makes the horizontal alignment straighter in comparison.
There were also six residents that requested the conversion of the pedestrian signal at
Finch Avenue at Maple Ridge Drive /Bowler Drive to a full traffic control signal. This
request was sent to the Region of Durham. The request was denied as it was found
that the intersection was not warranted for full traffic control signals based on recent
traffic volumes.
Based on the community consultation, it can be concluded that the majority of
responding residents are in favour of an all -way stop at Maple Ridge Drive and Maple
Gate Road / Pebblestone Crescent.

Signage on Maple Ridge Drive is adequate but can be improved with additional
warning pedestrian signage
The staff review concluded that the appropriate signs (in conformity with the
requirements of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act) are in place. There are sufficient 40.
km /h speed signs on the roadway.
Signage in the area can be improved on Maple Ridge Drive by moving the stop ahead
sign for the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive at Bushmill Street in the eastbound
direction so'that it is placed further west allowing more distance in between the warning
sign and the existing all -way stop. One resident reply for the community consultation
requested school area and crossing signage on Maple Ridge Drive, however, since
there is no school actually on Maple Ridge Drive, school area and school crossing
signage is not recommended on this stretch of roadway.
Overall based on the results of the community consultation and to allow for a safe
crossing on Maple Ridge Drive for pedestrians given that there are a number of
amenities in the surrounding area including Maple Ridge Public School, St. Issac
Jogues Catholic School, St Issac Jogues Church, Maple Ridge Park and Maple Ridge
Plaza, Engineering & Public Works staff recommends the placement of an all -way stop
at the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Gate Road /Pebblestone Crescent.
Engineering & Public Works staff also recommends that the existing stop ahead sign for
eastbound traffic approaching the existing all -way stop at the intersection of Maple
Ridge Drive and Bushmill Road be moved further west to allow more distance in
between the warning sign and the existing all -way stop.
The proposed all -way stop can be seen in Attachement 5. The proposed by -law
amendment to Schedule 7 of By -law 6604/05 is presented in Attachment 6.
