MEMORANDUM
Mayor and City Council
Kenneth M. Griffm, P.E., Director of Engineering/Public Works
DiWanna Baskins, Graduate Engineer
February 24, 2009
Consider approval of an ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances
of the City of Coppell, Texas by amending Chapter 8, Section 8-3-1(A)
of the Code of Ordinances; making it unlawful to park, stand, or stop
a vehicle at all times on both sides of Point West Boulevard from its
point of intersection with Interstate Highway 635 to its point of
intersection with Dividend Drive; and making it unlawful to park,
stand, or stop a vehicle at all times on both sides of Dividend Drive
from its point of intersection with Freeport Parkway to its point of
intersection with Belt Line Road; and authorizing the Mayor to sign
and execute any necessary documents.
The thoroughfares included in this ordinance are shown on the city of Coppell Major
Thoroughfare Plan as roadways serving the business district. This ordinance will
prohibit parking on Point West Boulevard and on Dividend Drive with the intention
being to improve safety conditions and ensure emergency personnel have access to the
businesses in the area. Please refer to the attached exhibit for a detailed layout.
My recommendation is to prohibit parking along the entire length of Point West
Boulevard between 635 and Dividend Drive, and on Dividend Drive between Freeport
and Belt Line. Approval of the ordinance will allow for enforcement and for the
erection of appropriate signage.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.
