Staff: Tom Niederauer Sr. Planner; Keith Fisher &Troy Gray, Engineering
I. Call to Order:
To review the minutes of the past two meetings - 2/22/02 and 3/08/02, Chair Gail
Manion suggested that the members read them and call Tom with any changes.
II. Follow-up reports -This Meeting Agenda:
• Glade Rd. around the Village Park -Regarding the retaining wall at this location,
Keith Fisher said that they would take some of the slope out of the hill to improve
driver viewing-ability coming from south to north.
Riverwalk Dr. connection -Fisher stated that this spring the staff will bid the road
project that connects the Riverwalk and Bridges at Riverwalk residential projects to
the Justice Center and Community Center to the north. The city will build sidewalks
along the east side only, as the walks on the other side will be constructed when
the property is developed for commercial uses.
Glade Rd. /Smith frontage -Judy Atwood talked to realtor Mark Howe regarding
the development of the commercial tracts on Glade Rd. abutting the D.R. Horton
residential project. Atwood's impression is that the new buyer will construct their
required walks when they develop this summer. Do not know about the other two
tracts since they are not under contract yet. Manion noted that we still need the
survey to determine the potential for projects along either side of Glade Road.
Fisher will try to get this and Niederauer will do a map with plats.
Glade Rd. from Behrens Ct. to Behrens Rd. - A meeting will hopefully be scheduled
this week to finalize the verbal commitment that was made. There has been shown
some reluctance on the Behrens part to continue with the platting agreement. Troy
will report back to us.
Glade Rd. north side Marion Bone Estate -Troy Gray stated that an extension has
been requested by the family on settling the estate, so we still don't know if the
property purchase will be able to be done this year. The hearing is in April.
Martin Parkway handicap ramps -Manion reported that Kennedy has surveyed all
the street corners along Martin Parkway and found 18 ramps were needed to bring
these walks up to the current standard. Fisher said that it would cost about $1000
per ramp, and that they have to be built in pairs - so to budget about $2000 for
each project. The Task Force suggested that they would not all get done in a
particular budget year, so that the construction priority should be to work from

Glade Road south to Cheek-Sparger Road.
II. Follow-up reports (cont.)
Page 2 of 2
Bogart Dr. ~ Pleasant Run Rd. -the Task Force believed that this could be a
project for this year and requested it be measured. Niederauer agreed to do so.
Glade Rd. walk east of Cranbrook -Atwood mentioned the crooked walk at this
location and asked how much it would it cost to fix? Fisher noted that the proposed
Mumford residential project abutting this walk on the east side of the Cranbrook
Addition would include a new walk along that frontage. As construction should
begin very soon it should solve the problem.
• SH26 Crossing at McCain -Manion stated that when John McCain is realigned,
we would need a pedestrian crosswalk across Colleyville Blvd.
III. Other /New Projects:
• Glade Road sidewalk ramps -Since some of the walks along Glade Road were
built prior to the requirement of handicap ramps at the corners, Nancy Langford
agreed to map the lack of corners along Glade Road.
Community House access, Sparger Park and Mill Creek Nature Center ramp -
Fisherstated that the wooden ramp on the L.D. Lockett house is deteriorating and a
new concrete ramp is needed to replace it. The cost would be about $1500. Fisher
also mentioned that ramps are also needed at Sparger Park and the Mill Creek
Nature Center to comply with ADA standards.
Glade Road west -Manion pressed for solutions to the pedestrian crossing of the
creek at west Glade, west of Bransford School. She asked for cost ideas for
installing a box culvert on the north side of Glade. Fisher said that it could run as
much as $20 to $30 thousand. Atwood requested estimates for a walk on each side
of Glade Rd. (north and south sides).
Colleyville Blvd. Highway Widening Project -Manion asked if sidewalks would be
constructed along Colleyville Blvd. adjacent to the Colleyville Elementary School?
Fisher said yes. He also mentioned that TxDOT would conduct a public meeting on
May 15th to respond to these kinds of issues. Fisher also noted that he would be
meeting with school officials regarding auto access to Colleyville Elementary.
Atwood and Manion said they would like to sit in on the meeting.
