Denton Tap Paving
Attached are five subjects brought forward by L. H. Lacy Co. for
the cities "Blessing". The first three are road closures for paving
and the forth is the handling of traffic during paving operations,
which will require the use of the existing southbound lane of Denton
Tap.
They plan to combine 1 & 2 of the Bethel School closure, timed to
not extend beyond the time given (highlighted oranage - page 2).
Combination of one & two should shorten the amount of closure time
plus L. H. Lacy proposes to use an extra sack of cement in their
concrete, which will yeild a higher early strength allowing traffic
to be on it sooner.
The closure of Bethel Rd. will be made similar to Bethel School and
will be the last pavement placed in this phase. I have discussed
this closure in detail for extra detour attention to prevent an extra
mass of traffic on Bethel School Road. This would involve placing
extra signs back at Coppell Rd.(s) to inform traffic of the closure
and route them to Denton Tap via Sandy Lake Rd. or Southwestern
Boulevard.
The Braewood Rd. intersection is fairly cut and dry.
The handling of traffic during their paving operations is appropriate
and not included but planned is additional signage for both north
and southbound traffic notifying motorists of this operation to allow
traffic to seek alternate routes. Signage per MUTCD will be provided
and the flagmen are trained through two different means.
Also not mentioned but planned for is involvement with the media
to provide information to the public.
The last detour will be at the park which will require a temporary
drive to be constructed which appears to be acceptable and will be
finished before seasonal sports (Jan. 31, 1989).
From the Dairy Queen to Sandy
to complete and detours should
that.
Lake Rd. should take a total of 8 d~ys
be removed totally within a week after

SUBJECT:
CLOSING B~THEL SCHOOL INTeRSECtION ,~ ~E'WO~LD ~LOSE BETHEL SCHOOL
AT DENTON TAP AND NEA~ THE B~OOKS~TERSEO%ION.
T~AFF [C
WOULD
BE
ROUTED OUT TO DENTON TAP VIA BETHEL ROAD.
THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE TWICE TO ACCOMODATE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE FOLLOWING
REASONS:
THE FIRST CLOSURE WOULD BE FOR ONE DAY MINIMUM~ TWO DAYS MAXIMUM. THIS
CLOSURE WOULD BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF STABILIZING THE SUBGRADE. AN ASHPALT
SURFACE FOR TRAFFIC WOULD BE PLACED FOR TRAFFIC TO RUN ON, THEN BETHEL
SCHOOl_ COULD BE OPENED BACK--UP.
2 )
THE SECOND CLOSURE WOULD BE FOR POUR D~YS MINIMUM~ SEVEN DAYS MAXIMUM.
THi~; CLOSURE WOULD BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAVING THE MAINLANES~ AND THE
F~OUR-BACK ON BETHEL S~HOOL ROAD. THIS WOULD ELIMINATE HAVINP~ TO REDUCE
THE ~"F~AFFIC TO ONE DIRECTION~ MULTIPLE DETOURS, AND POSSIBLY THREE WEEKS
OF' WORK,(NB ¥IME IN THE INTERSECTION.
SUBJECT: CLOSING BETHEL ROAD INTERSECTION - WE WOULD CLOSE BETHEL ROAD JUST
EAST OF THE CITY PARK~ ACCESS WILL NOT BE AFFECTED TO THIS AREA.
WE WOULD ALSO CLBSE BETHEL ROAD AT DENTON TAP ROAD. TRAFFIC WOULD
BE DETOURED VIA BETHEL SCHOOL.
THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE TWICE TO ACCOMODATE CONSTRUOT£ON FOR THE SAME
REASONS GIVEN IN THE SUBJECT OF CLOSING BETHEL SCHOOL.
SUBJECT:
CLOSING iB~EWOOD ROAD INTERSECTION - WE WOULD CLOSE BRAEWOOD
TO THRU TRAFFIC · GLENWOOD~ AND TO TRAFFIC AT DENTON TAP ROAD.
TRAFFIC WOULD BE ROOTED TO DENTON 'rAP VIA VANBEBBER OR SANDY LAKE.
]'HIS WOULD H~VE 7'0 BE DONE ONCE TO ACCOMODATE CONSTRUCTION.
1) THE CLOSURE WOULD BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF STABILIZING THE SUBGRADE.
MINIMUM LENGTH OF- CLOSURE WOULD BE ONE DAY.. TWO DAY MAXIMUM.
SUB,ECl':
THE
REROUTING TRAFFIC INTO THE OITY PARK NORTH.~F COTTONWOOD CREEK.
WE PROPOSE BUILDING. A TEMPORARY ROAD INTO THE PARK JUST NORTH OF WHERE THE
NEW CONCRETE PAVING WILL STOP (APPROXIMATELY 50' NORTH OF THE EXISTING
CI.TY PARK ENTRANCE. ,SEE ATTACHED DRAWING FOR DETAILS. THIS WOULD BE DONE
TO ACCOMODATE COMPLE¥ING THE ACCESS TO THE PARK IN TWO PHASES. THIS
DISTURBED AREA WILL OF C~URSE B~ RESTORED TO IT'S ORIGINAL CONDITION.
SUBJECT:
THE HANDLING OF TRAFFIC WHILE WE ARE PAVINg. IT WILL BE NECESSARY
TO ROUTE ~RAFFIC BY FLA6MEN CONTROL AROUND OUR CONCRETE TRUOKS~
AND BELT PLACER. THIS WILL NOT BE NECCESSARY ALL THE TIME~ BUT
MOST OF THE TIME. .BY THE CONTRACT WE ARE RESTRICTED TO WORKING
BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8:50 AM AND 4:50 PM WHEN WE ARE ON THE STREET.
THE AREAS WE WILL BE WORKING PAVING PROM THE EXISTING STREET ARE
OUTLINED ON THE ATTACHED PAVING PLAN.

We will again require the same procedures as'employed south

the appropriate block outs, flagmen, and the use of the lime
treated material for ~he block outs.
I trust, this plan to have addressed the major concerns
raised abeut phase one paving. Should you require
