Mr. Stan Lasater
City of Grapevine
Dear Stan:
I hope that the City of Grapevine will take advantage
of the opportunity for the State Highway Department to build
a new bridge across Bear Creek on Grapevine Euless Road.
The City at its election, several years ago, removed the
bridge that had served the area for many years. The highway
department program only replaces bridges and if we don't
accept the proposal the City will lose a $400 ,000 .00 grant.
It is not the property owner' s responsibility to replace the
bridge-it is the City of Grapevine' s. However, some of the
j effected property owners have agreed to participate as an
s added incentive to the City which reduces the City of Grape-
vine's cost to approximately 100 (ten percent) . That has to
be a good deal for the City.
When State Highway 360 is built, additional access will
be provided the area which additional access will become the
k primary access to the property along Grapevine Euless Road.
When Grapevine Euless Road is extended it will be secondary,
but will afford better circulation of traffic and fire and
police vehicles. The bridge built to a ten year storm with
two lanes of traffic will therefore be sufficient.
This will be one of our premium areas for high quality
development ultimately providing a substantial tax base to
the City. Presently the land has little if any value or
potential for development because of the access problem.
I urge you to support the facility.
ours trul ,
oe L. Wright

Re: Bridge construction at Euless-Main Street and Big Bear Creek
Grapevine, Texas
Dear Mr. Laster,
We strongly believe that the Bridge project on Euless-Main Street over
Big Bear Creek is vital to the commercial development of the Highway
360/121 corridors. It is imperative that the existing low water crossing
be replaced with the bridge as soon as possible, which in turn paves
the way to bring quality growth to this undeveloped area of Grapevine
adjacent to the west side of the airport.
We are fortunate that the State Highway Department has funds available
for this project and are pleased to cooperate in this mutually beneficial
project. We're willing to dedicate a portion of the necessary right
of way of approximately 50' x 150' along Euless Main St. In addition
to the right of way donation, we have agreed to raise our initial contribution
from $7,000 towards the City's cost of the bridge to $15,000.
Our firm has made a sincere commitment to the City of Grapevine's future
growth as evidenced by this letter and our previous donation of 14.5
acres of right of way for the S.H. 360 project.
Please advise so that together we may bring this significant project
to fruition.
Sincerely,
BAKER & ASSOCAITES JOINT VENTURE NO. 4
