STATE HIGHWAY 3 AND INTERSTATE 45 TO CLEAR CREEK;
AND THAT THE NAME CHOATE ROAD BE CHANGED TO DIXIE

· . WHEREAS, the City of Pearland has constructed and improved
Dixie Farm Road in Brazoria County, Texas, so that it now joins
Choate Road in Harris County, Texas, to connect Interstate 4S (Gulf
Freeway) and State Highway 3; and
WHEREAS, this roadway will enable vehicles to enter P~arland
and travel between State Highway 3, the Gulf Freeway, F.M. S18 and
State Highway $5; and

to travelers a sense of the rural environment which is so much a part

contribute to a reduction in confusion to citizens within Harris
