Ruby Road Project
ST 01-02
Road Closures
Dear Mr. Askew:
The City of Coppell intends to construct in~rovements along Ruby Road in the vicinity of one of
your residential communities. The Oak Park Village mobile home community has two entrances
and frontage along the road. The improvements will consist of the realignment and
reconstruction of Ruby Road from a two-lane asphalt roadway to a two-lane concrete roadway
with drainage improvements, and the installation of water and sewer utilities. A construction
contract for the project was awarded during the November 12, 2002 City Council meeting.
Currently the ~rees wiflain the project limits are being removed and construction of the
improvements is scheduled to star~ in early December 2002. Construction should take
approximately 120 days.
In evalua~g the actual logistics of the n~xmstruction of R~by Road, it became appaxeu~ that it w~uld
be almost impossible to mai~ain two-way traffic un Ruby Road during reconstruction. Them are four
driveways that intersect Ruby Road along the north side. Two of these belong to a shagle-family
residence and two beloug to the mobile home park. A road closure plan was develeped to allow
portions of Ruby Road to be closed while still maintaining access to and from the adjacent pmperW.
The contractor for the project is required to prepare tmt~c control plans for each of the phases
and n~tify each person in the mobile home park prior to hnplemanting any of the phases. The
nctification will provide an approximate timetable along with a map showing alternates routes to
be used during each phase. A copy of the notification will also be provided to you. The residents
have been advised of the upcoming road closures by means of a handout from the City. A turn-
around will be constructed for emergency vehicles and school buses. Closing Ruby Road in
phases should expedite construction and provide for a saver work zone.
If you have any questions, please eoutaet Garre& Campbell, Project Inspector, at 972-304.3685 or
S~n Taylor in Engineering at 972-304-7019.
Sincerely,
ylo
