Mr. Henegar, I’ve forwarded your message to George Marshall, P.E., our Traffic Engineer. He is attending the
International Transportation Summit in Irving this week, but is answering email as much as the summit
schedule allows. His direct contact number is 972-304-3562 if you want to leave him a voice message also.

Subject: Bethel Traffic Study
Hello,
My name is Jim Henegar. I am the Branch Manager at Uline at 980 W. Bethel.
We have had ongoing issues with traffic flow in and out of our facility since moving in 2 years ago.
With the new Amazon facility going up next door, the issues have grown exponentially worse. Egress
and ingress are a real problem.
My question is...has a recent traffic study been completed to review the congestion issues that will
occur when Amazon opens for business? I found the traffic count data on your website attached
below. It appears the last study was done in 2011 which was prior to the Uline or Amazon operations
on Bethel Rd.
I understand that Amazon will employee over 1,200 employees (as high as 2,000) and will be
receiving trucks 24 hours per day. This combined with our 300 employees and 24 hour operation I
am growing increasingly concerned about the safety of our employees. Particularly the areas where
we are mixing car/pedestrian traffic with semi trucks.
I look forward to your reply.
