News s~q.w~tu .~
Dallas County Commissioners
Court awarded the bid for construc-
tion of Belt Line Road from MacAr-
thur Blvd. to Interstate 3~ to Austin
Paving Company. The bid, in the
amount of $5.8 million, includes
funding from the cities of Coppell
and Carrollton for additional im-
provements to the project.
The city of Coppell had requested
the county to construct two addition-
al lanes, and has agreed to fund that
portion of the contract in the amount
of $202,000.
Carrollton will also fund a por.
tion of the contract in the amount of
$486,000 for two additional lanes and
water and sewer improvements.
Mayor Milburn Gravley of Car-
rollton said working with other gov.
ernment entities makes sense

facility.
"For example, the Rotary rec.~ .~
had a basketball tournament and
paid a custedial fee for use of the
building," Foster explained.
Foster said Coppell will be offer-
lng three English As a Second Lan-
guage (ESL) classes after spring
break with one of the classes~being
conversational Spanish. *
With more and more min®rities
moving into Coppell, the district
found that the community h~d a
need for this tTpe of program, he
said.
Another item on the work session
agenda dealt with Pinkerton being
used ns a pilot location for the recy-
cling of paper and aluminmn.
Baggett said the school board en-
dorses this pilot project and is curi-
ous to see what type of support it will
get from community members in
terms of bringing in discarded, news*
papers and used aluminum for
recycling.

Financially speaking, it makes
cents as well.
'"rhe additional funding will be
well worth it," he noted. '~ne cest to
ns would have been much greater
had we decided to enlarge (Beltline
Road) in the future."
Carrollton is also involved in two
other projects jointly with Dallas
County: Keller Springs from Kelly to
Marsh and Luna Road from Valwood
Parkway to Champion (just north of
Valley View).
The Beltline Road project, will
serve as a major connector between
the industrial*growing area of Car.
rollton and the residential growth of
Coppell.
Dallas County Commt.qq~oner Jim
Jackson said, "We have been anxious
. to begin this project because it is a
truly needed project. The joint effort
between the county and the cities of
'Carrollton and CoppeH indicates
how governmental entities can bene-.
fit the taxpayers when they work
together."
The project is scheduled to begin
within 60 days and construction
should take about two years.
