That TXDOT consider the historical context and negative impacts on health, quality of life, and opportunity that have been expressed by residents and community leaders of Austin 2. That TXDOT defer to community preferences and that the final draft of the I-35 Capital Express Central project is no wider and no higher than its current form.
