File: Copperstone Drive
Recommendations:
That Report OES 43-04 regarding a proposed amendment of the stop sign by-
law 2632/88 be received; and
That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend by-law 2632/88 authorizing
the erection of stop sign at the intersection of Clements Raod and Copperstone
Drive.
Executive Summary: In order to improve traffic operation and safety at the
intersection of Clements Road and Copperstone Drive an amending by-law is being
proposed, which will require the erection of stop sign on Copperstone Drive.
Financial Implications: The manufacture and installation of signs, costing
approximately $100 can be accommodated within the Roads current budget account
2320-2409.
Background: Due to recent developments in the area and the extension of
Clements Road to Church Street, traffic volumes are expected to increase at the
intersection of Clements Road and Copperstone Drive. Presently, intersection of
Clements Road and Copperstone Drive is a t-intersection with no traffic control.
The proposed by-law as amended will erect a stop sign for southbound vehicles on
Copperstone Drive at Clements Road. The stop sign will require the approaching
drivers on Copperstone Drive to stop the vehicle before entering the intersection, yield
to any traffic in or approaching the intersection and then proceed when safe to do so.
