RE:
JP No. 88009; Median Openings;
Denton Tap Road; Coppell, Texas
Dear Russell:
Mr. John Karlsruher of Ginn, Inc. has recently advised me that
future efforts by ABQ Development to include median openings in
the construction of improvements currently underway in Denton Tap¥,.~
Road should be coordinated through your office. Ginn, Inc. nas ~o~
previously advised us that median openings and left-turn lanes
can be included in this project upon agreement of property owners
on both sides of the road on the locations.
Pursuant to the above, enclosed is a copy of a letter dated
October 7, 1988, that I sent to Mr. Karlsruher. In my letter I
indicated that we are currently seeking an agreement with Univest
Development Company, who owns property in Denton Tap Road across
from ABQ south of Parkway Boulevard, on median opening locations
between the Univest and ABQ properties. However, north of
Parkway Boulevard, ABQ owns property on both sides of Denton Tap
Road.
In my letter to Mr. Karlsruher, I requested that Ginn, Inc.
include the'median opening and left turn lanes in Denton Tap Road
north of Parkway Boulevard, shown in concept on plans attached to
my letter, in the Denton Tap Road project. This limited request
was made due to two uncertainties: the time frame needed for an
agreement to be worked out between Univest and ABQ on other
proposed median openings south of Parkway Boulevard, and
commencement of paving construction in Denton Tap Road which
appears eminent.
Therefore, since Mr. Karlsruher has informed me that the Denton
Tap Road contractor may begin paving in December, 1988, please
advise me of the following by November 15, 1988.
Whether you can authorize Ginn, Inc. to proceed with
including the requested median opening and left turn lanes
in Denton Tap Road north of Parkway Boulevard, as shown on
attached plans, in the current construction project.

What is ABQ's financial obligation regarding this left turn
lane and median opening.
When must ABQ's financial obligation regarding this
construction be submitted to the City of Coppell.
In order to mimimize future traffic disruption and construction
costs, and enhance the marketing of adjacent property, ABQ
considers it very important to include the requested left turn
lane and median openings in the current construction. Thank you
for your prompt consideration and assistance in this matter.
