APPROVED
BY
CITY COUNCIL
DATE /-
The requested amendment of Section 8-3-1 of the Code of Ordinances was prompted by concerns from the
Coppell Police Department and residents of the Shadydale Acres Subdivision. The subdivision is adjacent to
the high school and parents have been witnessed using this area as a drop-off and pick-up location for their
children. Ail four streets in the subdivision are unimproved asphalt and only 17 feet wide. Because of this,
consideration must be given to traffic safety and the maintenance of the ditch line.
Letters were sent to the residents in Shadydale Acres of our intent to restrict parking in their subdivision (copy
of letter attached). We received four verbal responses, all positive, from the thirty-nine letters sent out. Staff
does not anticipate any negative impact to the neighborhood and will be available to answer questions at the
Council meeting.

RE: Restricted Parking in the Shadydale Acres Subdivision
Dear Shadydale Acres Resident:
Prompted by citizen and Coppell Police Department concerns, the City is proposing to restrict
parking on both sides of all streets in the Shadydale Acres Subdivision during before and aRer
school times. It was brought to our attention that the streets are being utilized as drop-offfpick-
up locations for students attending the high school. Because of the narrow width of the streets
(17 feet), safety is a concern.
The streets being considered are Shadydale Lane, Oak Trail, Willow Lane, and Shady Oaks. The
parking restrictions would be in effect on school days only during the times of 7:00 to 9:00 a.m.
and 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Signs would be posted to read, "No Parking, Stopping, or Standing" with
informational plates indicating the above effective times.
Prior to posting the signs, we must receive approval from the City Council. The agenda item,
first scheduled to be presented during the January 8, 2002 meeting has been placed instead on the
Janua~. 22, 2002 agenda. City Council meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Town Center Council
Chambers if you are interested in attending.
Our intent is to increase safety for the neighborhood with minimum inconvenience. Please
consider this proposal and, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Engineering
Department at 972-304-3681.
Sincerely,
Teresa Turner, E.I.T.
