MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
Alan Ratliff, City Manager
Russell R. Doyle., City Engineer
Steve Goram, Diredfor of Public Works
RE:
Recommendations for the Operations and Maintenance of
Streets and/or Drainage Facilities Using Available
Bond Program Funds
1984
This recommendation provides the priority improvements as determined
by staff through technical evaluations and methods. The total
funding needed to accomplish these projects is $245,000.
The projects recommended are:
(1) Engineering Studies and necessary improvements on Pelican and
Bethel School Road where the existing local drainage system did
not sufficiently handle the July 12, 1988 storm water runoff and
various residences were flooded and damage was experienced,
(see page 3). Also attached are related letters and petition
received.
Estimated Cost - $35,000
(2)
Bethel Road from Denton Tap Road to Royal Lane. The maintenance
operation needed to prolong the use of the roadway to acceptable
levels of service by another 2-5 years is a two inch asphalt
overlay: otherwise, the conditions of the roadway will
deteriorate rapidly. Additionally with the openin§ of Royal
Lane, it is anticipated that the use of this section of Bethel
Road will increase greatly and the existing roadway will
deteriorate at an accelerated rate. This cost estimate also
includes the installation of a traffic signal at Bethel Road and
Royal Lane (see page 4).
Estimated Cost - $135,500
(3)
Thweat Road from State Highway 121 to and including the Sandy
Lake and Coppell Road intersection (the diagonal most easterly
section of this road is Coppell Road). This roadway needs to be
seal coated to prolong its acceptable use for two to five years
under current traffic conditions. This road currently carries a
moderate level of daily traffic on it. (see page 5).
Estimated cost $30,000.00
(4) Southwestern Boulevard from Coppell Road to the Denton Tap Road
connection. This roadway needs to have an asphalt over-lay (2
inches) to increase its life for two to five years. This
roadway already has a moderate amount of traffic on it (see page
6).
Estimated cost $44,500.00
The total cost for these four priority projects is $245,000.00
These recommendations were taken from the existing total listings of
needed improvements that fall into three categories: STREET
MAINTENANCE, DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS and OTHER. The last category
'OTHER" would include Public/Private Partnership Improvements,
Master Plan Updates, Street Construction (and reconstruction),
Coppell 2000 Committee Recommendations, Future Traffic Signals etc.
(see page 7).
The total list of needed STREET MAINTENANCE projects considered are
on pages 8 and 10, which are the list of large sections of streets
needing seal coats, overlays etc. and the list of known subgrade
failures, respectively. The list of known Drainage Problems are on
page 12.
From these lists of known problems and maintenance needs, we selected
the recommended four items listed above as the highest priorities.
These selected projects can be accomplished in a relatively short
amount of time and would achieve our goals of avoiding loss of life,
damage to public and private property: promote public safety, reduce
traffic disruption and get the most efficient use out the funds
available (i.e., providing the greatest benefit to the most number of
people).
