Back in November we reported on the City’s interest in an assemblage of lots at E 5th and Frontage Road. Earlier this week, the ABJ reported the City approved the use of eminent domain should it be needed. The land is required for staging the construction of the Waller Creek Tunnel. This morning, according to the Statesman, the City decided to actually use its power to force the purchase of these “four lots along East Fifth Street for $928,416 for a flood-control tunnel project along Waller Creek.”
