Hays County commissioners voted unanimously Jan. 22 to adopt a new countywide transportation master plan.
Developed following more than a year of discussions and public meetings, the plan offers a guide for future road projects throughout the county, including new loops around Kyle and San Marcos.
The plan also calls for additional lanes for roads in the county's fastest-growing areas. However, the plan does not rank the road priorities or set a construction timeline for them. Commissioners said they will build the projects when they determine the time is right and funding is available.
"I think it's a pretty comprehensive plan," Precinct 2 Commissioner Mark Jones said. "We're not coming out and saying, 'This is what we're going to do at this time,' but it should be a help to landowners, developers and citizens."
