The proposed improvements would take place along the existing 114^th Street within existing right of way. Improvements would consist of a five-lane roadway consisting of two 11-foot-wide inside lanes, two 12-foot-wide outside lanes, and a 14-foot-wide center left-turn lane. Right-turn lanes and left-turn lanes would be constructed at intersections with major cross streets. Drainage would be accomplished via curb and gutters. The proposed typical right of way would be 110-feet-wide.

Although additional right of way would be required, no residential or non-residential structures are anticipated to be displaced at this time. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners and information about the tentative schedule for right-of-way acquisition and construction can be obtained from the city of Lubbock consultant by calling (806) 686-2700.
