The San Marcos City Council has approved a nearly 800-thousand dollar project to improve the city's drainage system. Hannah Rucker has more, in this Bobcat Update.

A significant portion of L-B-J Street was shut down all of last year due to construction. The closure was phase one of a major project, which caused some problems after heavy downpours last spring. Some small businesses experienced flooding.

Phase two will affect University Drive near Chipotle. It is hoped that when the project is completed, water will flow toward into the drainage system rather than onto sidewalks and into shops.

Following the spring floods, owners of several businesses on L-B-J contacted city council members to express their anger. They were upset that the initial drainage work had not been enough to manage the water flow. They wanted phase two to address the problems.

Phase two will start October 19th and should take about 30 days to complete. City officials are hoping the drainage work will help small businesses avoid future flooding. For Bobcat Update, I'm Hannah Rucker.
