Lora,
My name is Keith Marvin, and I am the project manager for both the Old Town project and the Bethel
Road/Coppell Road project you mentioned in your email. Both of these projects include a good deal of sidewalk
installation.
We are about 2 months into the 12 month construction schedule for the Old Town project. This project includes
the utilities, paving, and sidewalk within Bethel Road from the Hard 8 BBQ to the intersection of S. Coppell
Road/Mitchell.
Once the Old Town Project is complete we will begin work on the remainder of Bethel Road, as well as the piece
of Coppell Road from Cooper to Bethel. The Coppell Road portion will look just like the part from Cooper to the
north. We will have an 8 foot sidewalk on the west side of the road, and a 4 foot walk on the east side of the
road. This project will begin in late 2012, or early 2013 depending on the actual completion date of the current
project.
I also happen to live on Plantation Drive, so I too share your desire to see this sidewalk completed. Thanks for
taking the time to look at our web site, and for contacting us with your questions. Feel free to call me with any
other questions you may have.
Keith Marvin, P.E.
Project Engineer

Hi,
I live on Magnolia Drive. I have been keeping up on the construction that is being done in Old Coppell
as I am very excited about the improvements. One thing that I cannot tell from the Construction
Projects page of the City of Coppell website is whether or not sidewalks are going to be installed from
the intersection of S. Coppell Road/Cooper Lane to Bethel Road. Right now, there are sidewalks along
all of S. Coppell road except from Cooper to Bethel. The lack of sidewalk prevents us from walking to
the Farmers Market each Saturday.
I see the update (below) on the website, but it does not say anything about the installation of sidewalks.
Please let me know if sidewalks are part of the plan and if not, how the residents in the neighborhoods
around Plantation/Magnolia/Copper/etc. are supposed to get to Old Town (on foot) without getting hit
by a car. Thank you! Lora Gardner, 253 Magnolia Drive.

#ST 03-01 - BETHEL RD. II-B
(Bethel Rd. from Penfolds Ln. to S. Coppell Rd./Mitchell St. & Coppell Rd. from Bethel Rd. to
Cooper Ln.)
A design contract for Bethel Road was awarded to Freese & Nichols, Inc. in 2003. The project consists
of the reconstruction of the existing 2-lane asphalt road, storm drain improvements, and the
replacement of water and sewer lines. The project is in the design phase and the construction plans are
90% complete. Construction is anticipated to start in late 2012 after completion of the Old Town
Coppell infrastructure improvements.
