Summary
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws.
As part of the overall state-of-good repair program and Transportation Safety Local Improvement Program (TSLIP), the Rumsey Road and Sharron Drive and Rumsey Road and McRae Drive intersections are programmed for reconstruction in 2023.
The reconstruction project includes changes to improve the intersection for all road users with a focus on vulnerable road user safety as part of the complete streets approach.
Rumsey Road and McRae Drive and Rumsey Road and Sharron Drive are all-way, stop-controlled intersections. Rumsey Road and Sharron Drive is a T-intersection and is about 35 meters away from the four-legged intersection of Rumsey Road and McRae Drive. The current configuration of the two intersections can result in confusion and concerns with stop compliance.
The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Community Council to remove the southbound stop control at Rumsey Road and Sharron Drive, which is recommended to improve road safety and traffic operations at both intersections.
