DISCUSSION
On June 22, 1999 (M&C L-12539), following unsuccessful negotiations to obtain the necessary right-of-
way for construction of the extension to Basswood Boulevard (west of North Riverside Drive to IH-35W),
the City Council authorized the City Attorney to initiate condemnation proceedings
Condemnation proceedings (Cause No 141-179155-99) were filed against Dennison A. Royal to obtain
2.903 acres of land for the Basswood Boulevard right-of-way After hearing expert testimony from the
City and Mr Royal, the court-appointed Special Commissioners set the award amount at $155,700 00
Neither Mr Royal nor the City chose to contest the award of the Special Commissioners. Staff believes
the award to be fair and recommends its acceptance.
The 1998 Capital. Improvement Program included funding for the extension of Basswood Boulevard
from west of North Riverside Drive to IH-35W This project will construct a 4-lane divided boulevard
within a 120-foot right-of-way and connect to the improvements that are under construction by the Texas
Department of Transportation on IH-35W from Western Center Boulevard to Basswood Boulevard The
project is needed to serve rapidly growing development in the northeast portion of the City and to relieve
traffic congestion on Westem Center Boulevard. The City expects this project to be completed in May 2000
