Subject: Requests sent to City of Coppell
Dear Sir or Madam:
On Friday, March 6, 2009 several City departments had phone contact from the resident of Unit A2. The
caller identified herself as "Ginta Thakkar" and demanded that we erect Crime Watch, No Parking, and No
Outlet signs and speed bumps on the property. Because Meadow Ridge is private property, the City
cannot come onto the premises to erect these signs nor install any type of traffic calming measures. I did
not speak to the caller myself, but I have been asked to respond to her requests. Have you had similar
contact with this resident?
I wanted to give your company a chance to respond to me before I send the letter to Ms. Thakkar, because
you may already have plans to address what she says are crime, traffic, parking and noise problems in
Meadow Ridge. If she has not contacted you to request a solution for these problems, I will want to
suggest in my correspondence that she may do so. She did not want to hear such suggestions from our
personnel when she contacted us.
I have been in contact with our Crime Watch coordinator in the PD to ask how one goes about getting one
of their signs installed. Essentially, anyone can buy a Neighborhood Crime Watch sign to put up without
having a "neighborhood watch program" in place. They cost between $11-14 and are usually placed
behind the stop sign at the exit to the complex facing outward. Please contact RJ Harr, Community
Services Officer at 972-304-7082 for details. As for the other sign requests, erection of signage on private
property is up to the property owner.
Also, any traffic calming measures installed on the interior of the complex must be approved by the Fire
Marshal prior to installation, so that emergency vehicles can access all areas of the complex.
There may have been other issues Ms. Thakkar brought up in her phone calls, however, these are the
major ones I plan to address in my letter to her, once I hear back from you. Please reply to these concerns
as soon as possible.
Yours Truly,
Rhonda Adloo
