BACKGROUND:
Hoover Drive is classificd within the recently udopted Town af Pickering OfTicial Plan as a
residentiul collector from Twyn Rivers Drive southerly to Littlefard Street. Development plans
for this Area indicate a future extension of Littleford Street to Altonn Road at which time a
collector toad network will be complete in the Rougemount Neighbourhood. Until such time,
however, that the proposed development is undertuken, Hoover Drive south of Littleford Street
will continue to function as the �zsid:ntiel collector for this area.
With the increased volumes af traffic an Hoover Drive comes nn incrensed potential for
callisions. Of pnrticulnr concem is the movement of iraHic nt the "T' intersection of Hoover
Drive, Hoover Drive end Hoover Drive. 'The north and east approaches of the intersection carty
the highest volumes of neighbourhood trafiic while the southerly leg encounters very low
volumes es it cui-de-sac's into approximacely eight (8) homes, This inherent change in tha
directionnl flow of traflic with the absenr: of any form of posted regulatory stop/yiold control
creates prime conditions for the occurrence of serious right•angle or head-on callisions.
It is theroforo recommended thnt By-law 2632/88 be fiuiher smended to provide for tha
installation of en All-wey (3•way) stop at the intersecdon of Hoover Drive, Noover Drive and
Hoover Drive,
