Mr. Mills,
All of our signalized intersections have stop bars. They are the markings on the roadway that indicate where cars are
expected to stop for the light. As far as the signs go, we have some at the driveways from the Tom Thumb shopping
center onto Sandy Lake Road just east of Denton Tap. They simply say "Do Not Block Drive" or similar wording.
We have observed the traffic and pedestrian flow at this location. We will continue to observe it after the signal is placed
into operation.

Mr. Marvin,
Where in Coppell are these stops bars and signage so I can see and
understand to what you are referring ? In the interim where are the high
school kids going to safely cross Sandy Lake? Maybe if someone would watch
the traffic at this intersection between the hours of 0730-0830 and
1730-1830 you and others will understand the immediate need for these
devices, before someone gets hurt or worse. So far we've been lucky during
the 12+ years I've been in this home, but I hold my breath as I watch our
kids time their sprint across this busy street.........and it's getting
worse by the day.
Bill

Mr. Mills,
The city has reviewed your request for the installation of a crosswalk at
the intersection of Sandy Lake Road and Whispering Hills. We are unable to
stripe a crosswalk across Sandy Lake Road due to the fact that there is no
sidewalk on either side of the street to connect with the crossing. We will
build sidewalk through this area when Sandy Lake Road is widened.
We will however install stop bars at the intersection when the light becomes
operational. We can install signage informing the public not to block your
driveway while they are waiting at the light.
