Re: Fwd: signal light install on Bethel School Court & McArthur
Just curious if the May 23rd council meeting brought about an award for the contract mentioned below.
Thanks for the update.

Mr. Green,
Unfortunately the project schedule for this signal light has been
delayed form the original schedule that Ken sent you, I had a few
issues crop up that needed my immediate attention, and I was not able to
complete this design when I had initially told him that it would be
complete.
As for the actual schedule, the design is now complete, and the
advertizement for bids will be placed in this Friday's newspaper. The
contract will then be presented to City Council at the May 23rd Council
Meeting for award. I anticipate construction will begin in June 2006.
If you wish to discuss this project further, please feel free to call.

Ken,
Below is the original inquiry I submitted back in December regarding
the signal light install on Bethel School Court & McArthur and the
second portion is the response I received. I am curious if the dates
mentioned in your response are still on target?
Thanks,

Original inquiry:
"I recently moved into one of the new town homes built on Bethel
School Court. Myself and the other residence have found it VERY
difficult to exit onto McArthur before work and any time between 6pm -
7:30pm. It is extremely dangerous making a left from Bethel School Court
to go south onto McArthur. To do so you have to pull into the middle of
a 4 way intersection with no signal lights to protect you. I can predict
an accident will occur in the near future and with the speed of the cars
going north and south on McArthur it will be a very bad accident. I
believe the speed limit is 35mph but people going to work or going home
after work are in a hurry and do not stay below the speed limit.
The builders and home owner association said they installed the
required signal wiring and equipment the city of Coppell required and
the city had plans to install a traffic signal soon. They do not know
when; which is why I am sending this message... is there an ETA when a
traffic signal will be installed on McArthur & Bethel School Court? If
not, what can we do to request one?"
**************************
Coppell response:
"Mr. Green
The traffic light is currently under design by Keith Marvin of my
office. He anticipates the design to be complete in January and out to
bid in February. With this schedule, the project could be awarded to the
low bidder at the March 14th or 28th Council meeting. Work should begin
in April 2006. For additional information, you can contact Keith at
972-304-3679 or kmarvin@cLcoppell.tx.us.
As a point of clarification, the developer did not install any wiring
or equipment with their development. They only placed an empty conduit
under Bethel School so we could install wiring later without cutting the
street.
If you have any additional questions, please contact Keith or myself.
Thank you.
