MOTIONS

M1. Removal of all-way stops
As presented by Councillor Sizer:

WHEREAS on January 9th, 2012, the Operations Committee approved the installation of all-way stops at various intersections, including Lansing Avenue at Melbourne Street and Hawthorne Drive at Westmount Avenue, and that these controls be reviewed after a period of one year after installation;

AND WHEREAS in the report dated August 1st, 2013, staff reported that “the new traffic counts indicate that all-way stops are still not warranted at any of the above intersections. The follow up studies also indicate that there have not been significant changes in any of the concerns that are typically raised by residents, such as speed, volume and safety. They also result in a significant additional cost to the public in the form of additional delay and fuel consumption. Therefore Staff recommends that all of the all-way stops be removed.”

AND WHEREAS at its meeting of November 26th, 2013, Council voted against the removal of the all-way stops at the intersections of Lansing Avenue at Melbourne Street and Hawthorne Drive at Westmount Avenue;

AND WHEREAS as Ward Councillor, I have received much negative feedback on the installation of the all-way stops at the intersections of Lansing Avenue at Melbourne Street and Hawthorne Drive at Westmount Avenue;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff be directed to remove the all-way stops at the intersections of Lansing Avenue at Melbourne Street and Hawthorne Drive at Westmount Avenue as recommended in the report dated August 1st, 2013, and that the procedure to remove the all-way stop signs as outlined in that report from the General Manager of Infrastructure Services regarding All-Way Stop Control – One Year Review be followed with a communications plan.
