Narrative:

Trying to provide the beech 1900 with a shorter taxi route to a runway which would allow an immediate departure. A runway crossing was required. The particular landing confign requires multiple requests for runway xings from 2 different control position. I observed passing by the intersection where the beech 1900 was and instructed the pilot to stop. Since the bonanza was airborne I did not observe it during runway scan. During this operation, too many crossing requests occur. Need to limit coordination to one person to eliminate confusion.

Narrative: TRYING TO PROVIDE THE BEECH 1900 WITH A SHORTER TAXI RTE TO A RWY WHICH WOULD ALLOW AN IMMEDIATE DEP. A RWY XING WAS REQUIRED. THE PARTICULAR LNDG CONFIGN REQUIRES MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR RWY XINGS FROM 2 DIFFERENT CTL POS. I OBSERVED PASSING BY THE INTXN WHERE THE BEECH 1900 WAS AND INSTRUCTED THE PLT TO STOP. SINCE THE BONANZA WAS AIRBORNE I DID NOT OBSERVE IT DURING RWY SCAN. DURING THIS OP, TOO MANY XING REQUESTS OCCUR. NEED TO LIMIT COORD TO ONE PERSON TO ELIMINATE CONFUSION.
