SUBlECf: Stop Sign By-law Amendment
]nlersections along Bronte Squaze
RECOMMENDATION:
That a by-law be enactcd lo further amcnd By-law 2G32/88 authorizing thc crcction of stop signs
at certain intersections within thc Town.
ORIGIN:
Staff review of right-of-way control.
AUTHORITY:
Niglnvay Trn�c Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chap. H.8, scetion 137.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The manufacturc and installation of stop signs costing approximatcly 5400.00 can bc
accommodated within thc Roads Operating Budgct, 2320-2409, Highway Aids.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
The various intersections ulong Bronte Square hava rcmained under ►hc right-of-way rulc of
traflic control since the roadway's construction in the eazly 1980's. Plnns of subdivision M11-1037
and M-I 153 were assumed in 1983 and 1984 respectively but since thnt time no ofticiul by-la�es
have been drafted or pazsed to provide a higher level of right-of-way control.
Low traflic volumes characteristic to Bronte Squaze has contributed to the fnet that the frcquency
of reportablc collisions has remained very low. Due to thc n6sencc of stop sign control,
howcver, wnsistency has becn lost with the uniform treatmcnt that is gcnerally applicd to most
other similar intersections in the City nnd throughout thc Province. The con(licting trallic
movcments that occasionally meet nt the vnrious interscctions crcutcs confusion nnd collision
hazerd potential.
