PURPOSE:
This report recommends the approval of several regulatory traffic by-laws on Courtyard Lane and Clegg Road, east of South Town Centre Boulevard. These approvals are necessary to enforce the regulatory signs on the subject roadways. Hence, this report is required to obtain council approval to amend Traffic By-law 106-71, Speed Limit By-law 105-71 and Parking By-law 2005-188.
BACKGROUND:
As of August 28, 2007, Clegg Road
has been extended to the east of South Town Centre Boulevard, providing access
to Warden Avenue.
DISCUSSION:

Included in the sign plan were several regulatory signs, namely stop control, speed limit, and parking control signage. Because these signs are regulatory, they require by-laws to be enforceable. Therefore, Council approval is necessary for the applicable by-laws to be amended.
The Region of York will also have to update their by-laws to
include the signal at
