Re: Construction on Kimbel Court
Mr. Chomiak,
The City's contractor is currently installing a 30" water line across Mac, Arthur in the general area of the
referenced turn lane. The turn lane was originally disrupted when the contractor relocated a 16" water line
in this area last year. Both of these water lines come directly from our pump station and are critical in
supplying water to the City. There is also a 30" Dallas water line in the same location that relocation will
begin on later this year. With all the construction in this intersection it is difficult, if not impossible, to
maintain the referenced turn lane.
The City's contractor is also installing a 30" water line down Kimbel Court. The contractor has been
instructed that Kimbel must be reopened by the start of school on August 21,2000.
Additionally, on May 9, 2000, the City Council approved a change order that includes the reconstruction of
the entire MacArthur / Sandy Lake intersection and extends the project to Kimbel Court. The
reconstruction of the intersection will take about 4 to 5 months once they start and will impact traffic, as at
a minimum we will need to reduce MacArthur to one lane each way to allow for the reconstruction.
If you would like to discuss these items in more detail, please contact me at 972-304-3686.

Since the shutdown of Kimbel Court, the backup on Sandy Lake from the east
has become much worse. Traffic was not so bad when the turning lane on Sandy
Lake to go north on MacArthur was suitable for use. The lane was torn up
when a pipeline was installed and it was never repaired. Kimbel Court has
been used as an alternative for those traveling north on MacArthur.
Is there any way to get at least a temporary repair of this lane to make it
usable again? I think it would help the congestion.
Thanks.
