Describe proposed project. This description should adequately explain what will be
undertaken, where it will occur, why it needs to be undertaken, and what problems it will
solve. Please be very specific in the description-if, for instance, the proposed project
involves improving a road or replacing a water line, be sure to state that the project will
cover a certain amount of linear feet from Point A to Point B.
The proposed project consists of the reconstruction of 26 accessibility ramps along the west side of
Samuel Boulevard, from Parkway Boulevard to MacArthur Boulevard. The current ramps at the
seven intersecting streets and the six intersecting alleys are not compliant with the American with
Disabilities Act (ADA). The project will require the relocation of existing utilities and streetlights
and the replacement of landscaping and irrigation. Corner clip easements may have to be acquired
at some/all of the ramp locations in order to properly construct the ramps and relocate utilities.
Samuel Boulevard is a --major thoroughfare within the city and providing ADA compliant ramps
along this thoroughfare will benefit the entire city as well as surrounding residents. This portion of
sidewalk is adjacent to five subdivisions that have ingress and egress off of Samuel Boulevard.
Elementary_ school age children from these subdivisions attend Lee Elementary School and this
sidewalk provides pedestrian access to the school. There are two churches located on Samuel
Boulevard, south of Parkway Boulevard, and a third church located on MacArlhur Boulevard, The
Coppell Aquatic and Recreation Center and the Andy Brown Parks are located on Parkway
Boulevard. This sidewalk provides pedestrian access to those churches and the city park facilities.
