Overpass Construction in San Marcos Will Begin Soon

    Overpass Construction in San Marcos Will Begin Soon
Week#4  Article 1
2.       Category* of Problem/Issue identified in article: Transportation/Roads
3.       Level of problem/issue : Local
4.       A potential policy that is being considered to help a problem that individuals face.

5.       This is important to individuals because it will help to give a solution to the big traffic problems created around the Texas State University area. This may affect some individuals because there are some people who think that the construction will cause environmental issues.


6.       I really think that this new overpass will greatly help solve the problem of the traffic created by railroad at Aquarena Springs Drive. The traffic congestion on this street is a big problem that students, staff and faculty at the university faces. Texas State University is not the same small college from years ago. Currently our number of new students is bigger than ever and because of this the university is growing in all aspects so it is important to grow along with it. Traffic is something nobody likes and which therefore makes problems such as being late to class, work, or appointments. Accidents are also a major problem that would diminish with the construction of this overpass. From my point of view this new project for the city even further accelerate the growth of our university providing easier access and getting rid of the annoying traffic. I don’t think the environmental damage it's a problem because I don’t see way that this overpass can affect our environment.
