Mr. Baker,
There are utility issues with expanding the radius in regards to water and irrigation. There is also the issue of not
having the rights across the bank lot to expand the radius. That being said, let me clarify that the issue is really with
trailers mostly, not so much trucks. The contractor watched the intersection for an hour or so and reported that hitched
pick-up trucks were dragging their trailers over the curb. Reasonably expanding the radius is unlikely to alleviate this
problem as drivers tend to hug the interior radius so their trailer will still be dragged over the curb of a reasonably
expanded radius. Though on a larger scale, I’ve attached is a picture of the intersection of Belt Line and Hackberry on
the southeast quadrant. The radius and width of the lane is plenty big enough to accommodate the largest trucks yet
you still see where the trucks are dragging the trailer across the curb because of how they drive. If we place 6”
reinforced concrete behind the curb this should solve the problem.
Thanks,
Mike Dedman

Aaron,
We looked at the plan, and we were wondering if it would be possible to increase the radius of the curve at this location
to prevent the trucks from driving over the curb and the sidewalk. It seems like that would provide a more permanent
solution and prevent long-term damage to the curb and sidewalk. Are there any utility conflicts or other issues that
would make that difficult?
Thank you,
Cole Baker, E.I.T.

Can we please review the plan and get a approval for pouring some concrete at turn lane. We have
already had issues with larger trucks jumping the curb and destroying landscaping, So you would like to
solve the issue with adding some concrete.

We have had large trucks drive over the curb and ruin landscaping and would like to add some concrete
to prevent this.

We need to get this to the city of Coppell inspector for his approval. Can you forward to him or call him
to discuss on site.
