Bloomers Boutique & Floral Design has sat on the corner of 23rd Street and Ed Carey Drive for more than 30 years.

On Sept. 5, Channel 5 News told viewers the Texas Department of Transportation announced a proposed project to expand Ed Carey Drive.

During a public town hall to discuss the project, Bloomers Boutique & Floral Design Owner Lisa Human said she learned what the expansion would mean for her store.

“The expansion would take about 20 feet of our parking lot, which would deem our business unusable because we wouldn't have adequate parking, and doing that seems very unnecessary,” Human said.

According to Human, she would need to move her shop if the project moves forward.

“Removing us from this location would drastically affect our business,” Human said.
