Asking for support for bike safety, infrastructure in city's planning
Asking for support for bike safety, infrastructure in city's planning
For a decade I have lived east of I-35 in San Marcos. Recently, for health reasons, I have taken to riding a bicycle. At its best, bicycling can be a fun and convenient way to get around. However, trying to get anywhere from my neighborhood via bicycle has proved frustrating and dangerous. 04/16/2023 05:00 AM

Thanks to the San Marcos Electric Utility crew for their hard work on down lines
Thanks to the San Marcos Electric Utility crew for their hard work on down lines
Late Thursday (April 6) afternoon, there was extensive damage to the utility poles and lines in the 700 block of Belvin St. The damage appeared to have been caused by a very large truck driving down the street. There was one utility pole leaning at about a 45 degree angle out toward the street. The top portion of another pole had snapped and, while it did not break off, it was dangling downward at an alarming angle. As a result of the damage to the poles there were a lot of low hanging lines over the street and sidewalks. The scene really needed to be seen to be believed, but it was pretty catastrophic. 04/09/2023 05:00 AM
