San Marcos officials are trying to find ways to better coordinate traffic in the city. Amber Craddieth has more in this Bobcat Update.

As San Marcos grows, transportation issues become a greater problem. The city has to improve its streets and traffic flow while at the same time accommodate pedestrians and bikers. One improvement in the works is expanding Old Ranch Road 12 from Craddock to Holland to provide bike lanes and sidewalks.

The city has held several city meetings to get the residents' input on what types of changes should be made to improve the roads and make them more accessible. Many students who live on Old Ranch Road 12 say they don't feel safe while walking along the road.

Officials say all forms of transportation must be considered when infra-structure upgrades are made.

The plans for Old Ranch Road 12 include creating three traffic lanes, two bike lanes and two sidewalks. The city will also install a traffic signal at Franklin Street and make changes to the signal at Holland.

The project is still in the planning stages. City officials say construction will likely begin in 2018.
