City Council passed a resolution Sept. 25 voicing its disapproval of moving forward with an elevated I-35 option.

The Texas Department of Transportation is sending three construction plans for I-35 through approval processes and reviews to possibly implement in the near future.

According to the resolution, City Council chose to not support an elevated I-35 in future construction because of support from the surrounding neighborhoods to depress the highway.

Depressing I-35 would allow for capping it in the future and connecting downtown roads on the east and west sides currently divided by the highway. This plan is a possibility that TxDOT is considering during its process.
