[1][2] FM 1719 begins at BL I-40 (Amarillo Boulevard) and travels northward along Western Street.

Along this segment, the roadway is four-laned with a center turn lane until the intersection at NW 24th Avenue.

FM 1719 ran approximately 5.8 miles (9.3 km) from the then-proposed US 66 (the present-day I-40 business route) to the north before doglegging eastward to what was then US 87.

[2] The designation reverted to FM 1719 with the elimination of the Urban Road system on November 15, 2018.

[7] In 1999, the Texas Transportation Commission allocated $3.9 million for the addition of shoulders to Western Street north of Loop 335, with the goal of adding that segment to FM 1719.
