Cape's Dam is a beautiful haven in San Marcos. It's located near the Woods apartments off Interstate 35. Affected by the Halloween and Memorial Day floods, the dam has begun to deteriorate, prompting the San Marcos City Council to action. Not everyone is happy with the Council's decision to remove the dam. Symone Suarez has more with this Bobcat Update.

Along Cape's Dam you'll find the Olympic Outdoor Center, a local kayaking school owned by Ben Kvanli. The center is not only is his business but also the place he calls home. Kyanli says he sometimes goes paddle boarding just to put his little girl to sleep.

Kyanli formed a group called Save Thompson's Island with hopes of reversing the City Council's decision, but the city's Parks and Recreations Advisory Board has recommended removing the dam.
(SB)
Kvanli is against tearing down the structure because he believes rebuilding the dam will enhance the value of the river.

"As you can see, local businessman and resident Ben Kyanli finds great value to preserve the Cape's Dam. If you want to be apart of the cause, stop by his office on 602 North Interstate 35 and sign a petition. For Bobcat Update I am Symone Suarez"
