After review, and in the interest <strong>of</strong> public safety, staff is recommending a stop sign be<br />

installed at the intersection requested. <strong>The</strong> currently applicable “yield to traffic on the<br />

right rule” is not always fully understood by all traffic, and the current location is not<br />

signed with any directions for drivers. In addition staff have reviewed the location on site<br />

and have found that there is vegetation and other obstructions present that interfere<br />

with the vision <strong>of</strong> motorists approaching the intersection from Meadowlilly Crescent<br />

which would make a safe yield difficult for motorists. For these reasons staff<br />

recommends that this location is suitable for the placement <strong>of</strong> a stop sign facing west<br />

on Meadowlilly at the intersection.<br />

Should Council decide to support this recommendation staff will arrange for<br />

advertisements in the local paper <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Municipality</strong>’s intention to install a stop sign at<br />

the intersection to ensure there is public engagement prior to Council’s formal approval<br />

through by-law.<br />

Respectfully submitted,<br />

Brent Kittmer, P.Eng<br />

Director <strong>of</strong> Community Services<br />

Report Prepared by Nick Verhoeven, P.Eng., North Area Manager<br />
