> Mr. Hallax,
>
> Thank you for your inquiry about our ongoing road construction projects. The work that you are referring to is
the removal and replacement of failed brick paver bands. These pavers have exceeded their life expectancy, and
are being replaced with stamped, colored concrete. This is being done as part of our annual street repair
contract. We allocate approximately $400,000 per year for street repair, and out of this years contract
approximately $50,000 was dedicated to brick paver replacement.
>
> The areas targeted for replacement are from both citizen complaints and self initiated repairs. The Engineering
Department manages the repair project, and the Public Works department generates the repair list based on field
evaluation.
>
> In addition to this annual contract, we spend approximately $150,000 per year on sidewalk repairs. Most of our
other projects consist of complete street replacement or expansion. These projects include the recently
completed Bethel Road, Heartz Road, and Dobecka, as well as the current replacement of Clear Creek lane.
Upcoming projects in design include Deforest Road, Willow Springs, Shadowcrest, Sandy lake, and the remaining
portions of Bethel and Coppell Roads.
>
> I would be glad to discuss any of these projects with you in greater detail if you have additional questions. You
can reach me at the below number.

> I am a Coppell resident and I just wanted to inquire about the road work that is occurring for the replacement
of the cross-walk pavements. It seems like a lot of work and a significant cost that our city is incurring so I
wanted to inquire:
>
> 1) what is the cost associated?
> 2) why did we have to replace the cross walks?
> 3) what other projects where reprioritized/pending for the next few months?
> 4) what is the process and who decides what needs to be completed?
