In order to construct and operate the planned improvements, portions of numerous properties along the current right of way are needed and are proposed to be purchased by TxDOT.

The street address is 19085 IH-35 N (see attached Exhibit A). TxDOT had a survey and appraisal performed for the parcel. Below is a summary of information regarding the City-owned parcel.
