On the agenda

As the city filed it

I am writing to request your support in authorizing the installation of an all-way stop control at Chaplin Crescent and Russell Hill Road. Residents of both streets presented a petition to my office to implement the changes in order to enhance safety for both motorists and pedestrians. Residents reported that the status-quo is extremely dangerous when making left turns off Russell Hill Road onto Chaplin Crescent as they have to edge through cars at rush hour while trying not to get hit by eastbound traffic.

The situation is equally dangerous for the pedestrians walking along Chaplin Crescent as cars travelling north on Chaplin Crescent are not required to stop and assess pedestrian movements before turning. Upon receipt of the petition, my office consulted with Traffic Operations staff, who advised that there is already a temporary by-law in place, which was at the request of Metrolinx, to facilitate their construction activities. The all-way stop control was never installed, but both my office and Traffic Operations staff have been given the all-clear by the Transit Work Zone co-ordinators to proceed with this change on a permanent basis.

Staff recommended
