I found these images from the TxDOT Major Investment Study for IH-35 done 7 or 8 years ago. They were proposing 6 main lanes, 6 collector / distributer lanes and HOV lanes north and south of downtown, placed is a trench through the downtown area.







The City sponsored a follow-up study that examined building over the blocks between 4th and 8th Streets with buildings and parks.





TxDOT cancelled the study in 2004.
