Lacey Pompe
It's quite apparent that Alkek Library is undergoing renovations. The scaffolding on the building's exterior suggests that something major is occurring. Bobcat Update's Lacey Pompe tells us how the changes will affect students.
The construction has resulted in detours and extra walking, but most students realize there will be a pay off in the end. The project is called the Alkek 20/20 Vision.
SB
Though having construction on campus can be stressful for students, the expected changes are very enticing.
SB
The renovations will result in new technologies, a new café, new editions to the Wittliff collections and much more.

SB (Smoothie lady)
The work is also inconveniencing many drivers because of the detours they have to take.
SB (Student)
The project should be completed by April 2019. For Bobcat Update, I'm Region Kinden.

Dilynn-Paige Ewing
Commuters in San Marcos will sooner or later have their paths blocked -- thanks to the more than 30 trains that pass through the city every day. Bobcat Update's Dilynn-Paige Ewing has the story.
Safety is a big concern in a city where there are so many trains. At intersections of streets and tracks, lights flash and gates come down to warn drivers to keep the path clear when there's an approaching train. However, new regulations keep trains from blowing their horns at some intersections. Some students say they appreciate the silence while others think think it's potentially dangerous.
SB
SB
There is constant foot, car, and bike traffic on the train tracks daily, so it is very important to be aware of your surroundings when crossing.
SB
Remember that trains can be difficult to stop, and any collision with smaller vehicles will likely be deadly. So, to be safe, always look and and listen before crossing the tracks.
