Griffin said C0ppell ISD
had previously considered pay-'
lng part of the cost for the
project, with $80,000 coming
out of school funds. Council
members agreed to arrange a
work session with School Dis-
trict officials to discuss pos-
sible joint funding.
The City already has 24
feet of right-of-w, ay for the
road, but needs 22 more, Grif-
fin said. He told Council mem-
bers the landowner of the adja- -~
cent undeveloped property was
willing to dedicate enough
right-of-way to allow comple-
tion of the road and a sidewalk
along the side of it. Griffin
suggested installing speed
bumps because the road will
run along the wall of Hunting-
to.n Ridge.
"Students have run through
~twall twice," he said.

Council included traffic control
at Cowboy and Parkway using a
signal, three-way stop or paying
a police officer to direct traffic
during peak morning and after-
noon hours. Griffin said a sig-
nal light would cost $$$,000
and would slow southbound traf-
fic on Denton Tap. He also said
it would be used only. two to
four hours per day and 'during
special events. A three-way stop
would'be cheap, he said, but
would disrupt traffic 24 hours a
day. He said dedicating a police
officer to direct traffic would
cost $18,000 to $20,000 per year
and that it would be hard to find
someone because of the times
the officer would be needed.
And Police Captain Gary Nix
said a major emergency could
pull the officer away from his
duties.
