Re:
Denton Tap Road Improvements from Belt Line Road to Sandy
Lake Road - June 19 Traffic Control Plan Change
Dear Mr. Doyle:
This letter is a follow-up to our telephone conversation of this
morning concerning the proposed opening of the Van Bebber/Denton
Tap Rd. intersection and the subsequent closure of east side of
the Bethel School Rd/Denton Tap Rd. intersection. As discussed
this morning this is in conformance with the plan developed in
our meeting of March 2, 1989. _The notice you receive~/
your information and does not require you to take any action.
~ctor was instructed to notify police and fire
same manner. I have received confirmation of notification from
Lt. Leonard.
I can understand your irritation over the short notice you have
been given on this issue, but I assure you that the notice in
this case was given as far in advance as practicable. With the
poor weather of the last few weeks, ending on Wednesday, it has
taken a couple of days in the field to assess the water damage to
the project. Late yesterday, the Contractor was able to finalize
his assessment of the situation and formulate his schedule and
sequence for resuming the work of the project. We were promptly
notified of his intentions and asked that he follow through on
his notifications to yourself, police and fire department~.
Everyone involved in the project has performed their duties as/
required in this matter. The Contract allows the Contractor to
sequence and schedule his work to his best advantage in timely
and cost-effective completion of his work, and therefore we
cannot delay his change of the traffic control on the project in
anticipation of a public advertisement of his intent.
Let me reassure you that when the situation permits enough lead
time prior to future traffic control plan changes we will urge
the Contractor to provide you with press releases in time for
publication in the newspaper.

Please call me if you have any questions.
