Re: Partial taking

When part of your land is needed for a highway project, the applicable legislation often provides compensation for the impacts on your remaining land from construction and use of the road.

However, your question is whether or not you can force the municipality to do a full taking rather than a partial taking of your property. It is obvious that a full taking would avoid the need to compensate you for damage to the remainder. The answer depends upon the applicable legislation. You will need to obtain legal advice.
