Subject: Speed Zone Study
Dear Mr Griffin , '
Attached for your informat~and further handling is a computer printout of the speed
zone study on the SH 121 Bypass in the City of Coppell We believe the recommended
speeds will correspond closely to the speeds at which the normal and prudent driver will
drive under the existing conditions
Also attached for your information is a sample speed zone ordinance that might serve
as a guide in the preparation of your speed zone ordinance We will also furnish and
install the necessary signs at the proper locations upon receipt of the signed ordinance
from the City of Coppell establishing the new speed limits If we haven't heard from
your office within 90 days concerning this speed zone study, we will assume
concurrence and we will begin proceedings to have the zoning adopted by Commission
Minute
We appreciate the interest you have shown and the cooperation you have given If we
may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact Mr Linden Burgess at the
above address or by telephone at 214/320-6237
Sincerely,
Mohammad H Moabed, P E.
