First photo illustrates 2103 Winstead Ln, which is located at the next exit on Mopac in my neighborhood (0.5 mile from my home), Tarrytown. The wall built by the DOT measuring 15’ in some places protects this property from 3 angles, circled in yellow. This property owner also suffered from repeat vehicles damaging the property before the wall was built. ITEM02/23 ITEM02/24 The next property is even closer to me, on the other side of MoPac with a similar juxtaposition to the highway, at the northbound Westover exit ramp. 1709 Westover has property without a dissected lot, but is also completely protected by the 15’ DOT wall circled in yellow. ITEM02/25 ITEM02/26 Image below: My property, 2104 Westover, located on the southbound Westover exit ramp has no protection from a 15’ wall. The wall, again circled in yellow, ends distinctly before the property.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Good afternoon, Ms. Ramirez, I hope it’s not too late, but I just wanted to offer our full support to Christi Lane at 2104 Westover Rd. for replacing her fence at a height higher than allowed. Even though it is not directly in our backyard, it helps with noise from the highway, and is pretty much not visible to anyone but her and people driving on the feeder road.
