In 1999 citizens approved a b nd program which included the reconstruction of Bethel Road. In February
2001 City Council approved a design contract with TranSystems Corporation for the design of Bethel Road
from Freeport Parkway to th west city limits. One of the design considerations of Bethel Road was to
determine the City of Grapevi e's intentions for the future construction of Bass Pro Drive from S.H. 121 to
in
the City of Coppell's west city limits. I have received information from the Director of Public Works for the
City of Grapevine that Bass Pro Drive is to be constructed as a four -lane divided roadway and that they have
no plans to change that designation and /or construct a six -lane roadway.
The City's current thoroughfare plan is for Bethel Road to be a four -lane divided roadway between Freeport
Parkway and Royal Lane and six -lane divided roadway from Royal Lane to the west city limits of Coppell.
Because Grapevine will be co structing a four -lane divided for its section of Bethel Road (Bass Pro Drive)
within the city limits of Grap� vine, it is my opinion that we should revise our thoroughfare plan and only
construct a four -lane divided r adway from Royal Lane to our west city limits.
Staff recommends approval o� the ordinance to change Bethel Road to a four -lane divided roadway (C4D)
from Royal Lane to the west c'' limits and will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

Ref: Bass Pro Dave / Bethal Road
Dear Ken:
The City of Grapev ne's current Master Plan calls for the segment of Bass Pro Drive /
Bethal Road between SH 121 and the Coppell / Grapevine city limits to be a four -lane
divided roadway. We have no plans to adjust that configuration and can see no reason
that a six -lane divided roadway would ever be warranted east of SH 121.
If you have any further questions or comments, please contact me at (817) 410 -3134.
