SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF
MULTI -WAY STOP CONTROL FOR THE INTERSECTION OF
WINTERDALE DRIVE AT CANVAS STREET
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of multi way -stop control for the
intersection of Winterdale Drive at Canvas Street..
BACKGROUND
Staff received requests from area residents to investigate the possibility of installing multi -way
stop control at the intersection of Winterdale Drive at Canvas Street. Residents have indicated
that it is difficult to turn onto Winterdale Drive from Canvas Street during the morning and
afternoon peak periods, causing vehicles to back up on Canvas Street.
The intersection is a T -intersection in a residential neighborhood. Staff conducted a multi -way
stop analysis at the intersection, which included the evaluation of vehicular and pedestrian
volumes, collision history, and sight visibility. The analysis determined that the intersection did
meet the minimum volume warrants for the installation of multi -way stop controls at the
intersection of two residential streets.
The installation of this multi -way stop control is one of many improvements that staff has
performed in this neighborhood to help reduce resident traffic concerns. Other improvements
have included additional speed limit signs and pavement markings, parking restrictions, all -way
stop control at the intersection of Winterdale Drive at Goodvale Road, placement of a PARET
unit, and increased traffic enforcement.

FISCAL IMPACT
Installation of the all -way stop controls are estimated at $1,000. Adequate funds are available in
the Striping and Signing Maintenance Account No. 14504-5111.010.
