San Marcos is developing a comprehensive master plan to keep up with the city's increasing population. As Daisy Saenz tells us in this Bobcat Update, the city is experiencing some growing pains that need to be addressed.

The comprehensive master plan covers many of the city's development needs, including transportation. City officials have been meeting with area residents to talk about traffic issues, including pedestrian and bicycle safety.

Input from the community has led the city to take a closer look at coordinating bus service with the university as well as the Lone Star Rail District. Another idea to come from the meetings is to offer free bicycles to students who agree to leave their cars at home.
Texas State University has been involved in the planning. City officials say that from the very beginning it has been a joint effort to help alleviate traffic congestion and expand transportation options.

Residents and students can expect more details about the plan later this week. If the City Council adopts the plan, implementation may begin as early as next year.
