MEMBERS ABSENT: (1) Rick Staples, Nancy Jane Langford and Judy Atwood.
I. Call to Order:
Chair Gail Manion reviewed and critiqued the draft minutes of the March 4, 1999
meeting.
II. Follow-up reports:
* Cranbrook neighborhood:
Staff determined that it was approximately 660 feet from the end of the west
terminus of the central link of the Glade Drive sidewalk to the first walk along
the east front yards of the Cranbrook neighborhood.
Cranbrook neighborhood:
The concept is to connect with the walk we have brought down Glade to the east side
of Cranbrook and go as far west as possible but expanded to a five foot wide walk.
The attached map shows the different distances that this walk can span. For each
segment I calculate the following length and issues with that particular walk:
A -about 100 feet would connect the Glade walk to the first Cranbrook walk. It would
not provide a walk for those kids coming from West Cranbrook. This walk
would involve one handicapped curb-cut.
B -this is about 660 feet less the East Cranbrook right-of-way. This would involve
three handicapped curb-cuts and would have to be built on a strong slope.
The advantage to this walk would be to provide cross access foot traffic to both
sides of Cranbrook as well as connect to the east
C -this route would entai I the same as ' B• above except it is about 200 feet longer with
an additional handicapped curb-cut, but it would complete the Cranbrook
addition and prepare the way for an expansion to the west toward Behrens Court.
D -this is a 250 foot extension that would complete the walk all the way from the east
side of Cranbrook to Behrens Court.
* Hardage along Colleyville Blvd. to elementary school:
old stuff --
Manion requested preliminary information on 1) an asphalt path for the
Hardage to Colleyville Elem. route; 2) Cranbrook Add•n, 3) Central Drive
connection to City Park.

Minutes of Meeting // 3-12-99
Pecan Park Estates:
The Task Force is still interested in finding a solution for getting children from this
neighborhood to the elementary and junior high schools to the south. We are aware that
there is a logistical problem of getting across the.Classic Cars. business as well
as potential safety problems in coming across the rear of the businesses at this location.
An asphalt walk will be sufficient, however if concrete is scheduled, a five foot wide walk
would be better. At one time the school district said they would bring a walk from the
building(s) to the north property line to meet our walk. The Task Force has requested
solutions to this dilemma. I estimate the following:
A - Colleyville Blvd. route -come east on Hardage (A at 410') and south down Colleyville
Blvd. (B at 950 feet) for a total of 1360 feet for a five foot wide walk. The
design problem would be getting across the .Classic Car. driveway.
B - rear of businesses route - I estimate the Hardage part -Cat 115' and connecting along
the rear of the businesses, to the school - D at 1150', for a total of 1265 feet.
IV. Adjourn:
* The Chair determined that a meeting was needed only after the staff prepared estrrr~s
for the projects noted above.
* The meeting adjourned at 4:00 pm.
