HAYS COUNTY, Texas — A $440 million road project lies in the hands of voters in Hays County.

County leaders are asking for voter approval of Proposition A, a bond aimed at building and improving 31 roads throughout the county, including in cities like San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Wimberley and Dripping Springs.

Brandon Elliot, senior planner at the Hays County Transportation Department, said the price tag reflects the cost of growth in the county.

“We're one of the top growing counties in the nation and commissioners saw the need for a lot of improvements on the roads,” he said.

I used to roam through all of those towns back in the day as well as living in San Marcos for a few months between graduation and getting my first full-time job. It appears that nearly all of the improvements are concentrated west of I-35.
