MULTI -WAY STOP INSTALLATION AT WINTERDALE DRIVE
AND GOODVALE ROAD
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of a multi -way stop control at the
intersection of Winterdale Drive and Goodvale Road.
BACKGROUND
Staff received requests from area residents to investigate the possibility of installing a multi -way
stop control at the intersection of Winterdale Drive and Goodvale Road. This intersection is a
T -intersection in a residential area and contiguous to Mitchell Elementary School. The
intersection has an existing stop sign on the terminating leg of Goodvale Road.
Staff conducted a multi -way stop analysis at this intersection, which included the evaluation of
vehicular volume data, pedestrian count data, collision history, and sight visibility. The analysis
determined that this intersection meets the City's minimum volume warrants for the installation
of a multi -way stop control at a residential intersection contiguous to a school.
The intersection of Winterdale Drive and Goodvale Road is along the "Suggested Route to
School" for students attending Mitchell Elementary School. A multi -way stop control will help
establish right-of-way assignments, provide for the orderly movement of traffic, and improve
safety for students utilizing the crosswalk across Winterdale Drive. In addition, the multi -way
stop installation, which requires traffic on Winterdale Drive to stop at the intersection, will help
improve traffic circulation for vehicles exiting the loading/unloading zone (valet parking facility)
located along the east side of Goodvale Drive.
