~~.~DI~7~affic Detour Plan for Closure of Bethel School Road.
At our meeting on Tuesday November 26, 1991, the issue of the road closure for Bethel School Road
was addressed. At this time we are requesting that the road be closed to through traffic on or before
December 9, 1991. We are currently proceeding with the documents for abandonment of the public
right-of-way to the adjacent land-owner, Ms. Ruby McDowel. This will include a twenty-five foot
utility easement to the City of Coppell. Enclosed please find a copy of the Traffic Detour Plan
requested by staff.
We appreciate your assistance in this procedure for the prompt closing of Bethel School Road to
through traffic. If you have any questions concerning these issues, please feel free to call.

3F-2 Channelizing Devices
Traffic cones and tubular markers are sometimes used outside of con-
struction and maintenance areas for general traffic control purposes.
Such uses include adding emphasis to reversible lane delineation, chan-
nelizing lines or islands.
These devices shall be a minimum of 18 inches in height and made of
materials to withstand impact without damage to themselves or t~
vehicles. Large size devices should be used wherever more conspicuous
g*uiaance is needed.
The color of cones and tube markers used outside construction and
maintenance areas shall be the same as the pavemen~ marking which
~hey supplement or for which they are substituted. They should be kept
clear, and bright for maximum target value. For nighttime use they
shal] be reflectorized.
Reflectorization of tubular markers shall be a minimum of two three
inch bands placed a maximum of 2- from the top with a maximum of
c" between the bands. Reflectorization of cones shall be provided by a
mirnmurn 6" hand placed a mammum of 3" from the top. Reflectorized
materia] shall have a smooth, sealed outer surface which will display
the same approximate color day and night.
