RE: The construction, installation, maintenance and operation of two (2) 6 -feet wide sidewalks,
crossing the Cotton Belt Line, approximately 60 -feet east and 60 -feet west of the centerline of
Denton Tap Road South and within the right -of -way of the existing public road crossing, covered
under Street or Highway Easement No. 681 (see attached), Mile Post 608.35, in Coppell, Dallas
County, Texas.
Dear Mr. Marshall:
This letter is in regards to the above referenced project. Currently, DART does not require the City of
Coppell (the "City") to install pedestrian warning gate equipment at the public road crossing. However,
as future transit service is developed on the Cotton Belt Line, the City, at its sole cost, may be required at
that time to install pedestrian warning gates.
In addition, DART will require the City to maintain all repairs relating to the above referenced sidewalks.
When such repairs are necessary, the City must notify DART in writing and coordinate flagging services
with the Fort Worth & Western Railroad Company. If these conditions are acceptable to the City, please
have the City Manager, Mr. Clay Philips, sign this letter below, with the original returned to me.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at (214) 749 -2794 or via e-mail at sgray @dart.org.
Yours truly,
Shannon D. Gray
