McCarty Lane is getting a six-point-five (M) million dollar make-over. Jessica Peters has more in this Bobcat Update.

A groundbreaking ceremony this week kicked off the construction on McCarty Lane outside the Embassy Suites Hotel.
Mayor Susan Narvaiz said the improvements will benefit the community.
SB (Narvaiz- mobility, safety, economic)
Hays County Precinct 3 Commissioner Will Conley is pleased to finally get the project underway.
SB (Conley- 50-60 years…)
The City and Hays County officials are excited about the expansion, but not all the citizens of San Marcos are as satisfied. Jason Perez owns a home on McCarty Lane.
SB (Perez- why is doesn’t like it)
Perez is losing about 12 feet of his front yard, a few trees, flower bushes and his brick and rod iron fence.
SB (Perez- knows it is necessary)
The city is rebuilding and covering the cost of reconstructing Perez’s fence. The city will also help other residents affected by the construction.
When the roadwork is complete, McCarty will be an urban four-lane roadway.
The project will be conducted in two phases. For phase one, the city will make improvements near the Embassy Suites Hotel and will connect the road leading to the San Marcos High School.
SB (Mayor- travel to the High School)
The City of San Marcos and Hays County are partnering on phase two of the project, which involves the eastern part of Loop 110.  The loop will connect Interstate 35 to Highway 123. Officials hope work on phase two can start early next year.
While construction is underway, officials suggest that drivers find alternative routes in the area. For Bobcat Update, I‘m Jessica Peters.
