2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 At a regular meeting of the General Purpose and Administration Committee
held on May 19, 1987, the following resolution was passed:
"THAT staff investigate and report to the General Purpose
and Administration Committee, the stop sign at the top of
Waverly Road and Roenigk Drive, and review the possibility
of relocating the stop sign to the west entry road, making
Waverly lbad the through road."
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 The Waverly Road/Roenigk Drive intersection is a IT' intersection.
Roenigk Drive forms the 'stem' of the intersection and the stop
condition is on Poenigk. Drive (see Attachment No.2) .
3.2 If the stop sign was relocated from Roenigk Drive to the north
approach on Waverly lbad, vehicles on the south approach proceeding
straight through the intersection would have the right of way as well
as westbound vehicles on Roenigk Drive turning left to proceed south
on Waverly lbad. This would result in a hazardous traffic condition.
3.3 To prevent this hazardous condition, the south approach to the
intersection would require reconstruction to provide a separate
channelized right turn lane for the northbound to eastbound
movement (see Attachment No.3) . The island is required to provide
for an exclusive right turn lane so that a stop condition can
be imposed on northbound vehicles on Waverly Road going straight
through the intersection. The northbound right turn lane would be
operated under 'yield' control.
The estimated cost for the reconstruction of the intersection is $19,000.

3.4 A Plan of Subdivision has been submitted for the development of
vacant lands between Waverly Road and Martin Road south of the
CN Rail right of way. This development will increase traffic
volumes at this intersection.
3.5 There are several houses fronting on to Waverly Road and the Waverly
Road Public School is located on east side of Waverly Road. The
removal of the stop condition of Roenigk Drive will encourage more
traffic which is southbound to Highway 401 to use Waverly Road rather
than use Highway #2 to Regional Road 57 and Regional Road 57 to
Highway 401.
3.6 Crosswalk bars will be painted in the spring to line up with the
existing sidewalk and the stop bar is proposed to be painted behind the
sidewalk (see Attachment No.3)
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 In view of the above, it is recommended that no change be made to the
stop condition at Waverly Road and Roenigk Drive.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee,
Walter A. Evans, P. Eng., Lawrence E. otseff,
Director of Public Works. Chief Administrative Officer.
