ynw'reuoymd[axr�uury GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. IES12-003
SUBJECT: Multi -Way Stop Sign Control Request at the Kemano Road and Banff
Drive Intersection and Crossing Guard Request at the Banff Drive and
Devins Drive Intersection.
FROM: L Simanovskis, Director of Infrastructure and Environmental Services
DATE: February 7, 2012
THAT Council receive report IES12-003; and
THAT an all-waystop sign control not be installed at the intersection of Banff Drive
and Kemano Road; and
THAT School Crossing Guards not be provided during the a.m. and p.m. peak
periods at the Devins Drive and Banff Drive intersection.
PURPOSE OF THE REPORT
This report has been prepared to investigate Devins Drive Public School requests of a
three-way stop sign control at the Banff Dive and Kemano Road intersection and a
crossing guard at the Banff Drive and Devins Drive intersection.
BACKGROUND
On November 29, 2011, Town staff met with the Devins Drive Public School Traffic Flow
Committee to discuss their traffic concerns around the school. The following are some of
the requests that were discussed at the meeting:
• Three-way stop sign control at the Kemano Road and Banff Drive intersection;
• Crossing guard at the Banff Drive and Devins Drive intersection;
• Pedestrians ahead signs on Devins Drive and Crawford Rose Drive;
• School area signs on a number of locations in the vicinity of the school; and
• Sightline obstructions.
The request of a three-way stop sign at the Banff Drive and Kemano Road intersection had
been considered twice previously by the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee and Town
Council. However, staff supported a new investigation of the intersection for a three-way
stop as previous studies were conducted prior to the road reconstruction of Kemano Road
and the installation of the new sidewalk on the south side.
