Construction is over a year away, but they will be building a mock-up on a couple blocks of Mobberly Avenue to give residents a chance to try it out and offer feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Mobberly Avenue is a main thoroughfare from north to south on the south side of Longview. City Spokesman Shawn Hara said it is well-used, but it is not necessarily heavy traffic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t have probably the amount of traffic that you would need for the five lanes that are there. So that\u2019s where, in looking at this, we feel like we should be able to reduce down the car traffic and enhance the pedestrian traffic,\u201d Hara said.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn says it\u2019s called a \u201cComplete Street\u201d project. But isn\u2019t Mobberly already a complete street? Well, yes, but no. &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>    <blockquote class=\"reddit-card\" >      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/dfwbike\/comments\/rxgizt\/greetings_from_up_around_the_blue_bunny_marine\/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share\">Greetings from up around the &quot;Blue Bunny&quot;.

It\u2019s 2022, and just like most of you, I\u2019ve been thinking about my New Year\u2019s resolutions and focusing on some of Town Council\u2019s priorities for the year ahead. As I thought through our upcoming projects, I realized so many of them are focused on improving or creating new quality of life amenities and infrastructure. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; We\u2019ll also spend the year completing a major update to our Trails and Bikeways Master Plan. The master plan will ultimately identify and prioritize enhancements and expansions of the trail and bikeway system within town. Town staff and our consultants on this project collected community input throughout 2021 through surveys and in-person and virtual meetings. On Thursday, Feb. 3, 2022, staff and our consultants will present draft recommendations for the master plan, which is reflective of the community input we\u2019ve received so far. Join us for an open house at Town Hall at 5:30 p.m., during which time we\u2019ll seek residents\u2019 feedback on the recommendations. Feel free to stay for a Parks Board meeting at 6:30 p.m., which will include a presentation to the Board. To learn more about the master plan and the process we\u2019ve used to develop it, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flowermoundtrailsplan.com\/\">www.flowermoundtrailsplan.com<\/a>. &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanmarcosrecord.com\/news\/council-oks-city-transportation-master-plan\">Council OKs City Transportation Master Plan<\/a><\/h2>\n<h4>Alyssa Gonzales | www.sanmarcosrecord.com<\/h4>\n<p>During Tuesday\u2019s San Marcos City Council meeting, councilmembers discussed and voted on the second reading regarding changes in the city\u2019s Master Transportation Plan. After much consideration, the council voted to pass the plan that includes the Thoroughfare and Bicycle Plan which will modify various roadway alignments and bicycle facility classifications.<\/p>\n<p>Previously,  city council recommended unanimous approval of the item including the five recommendations and discussion items presented by the Planning and Zoning Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the discussion, Mayor Jane Hughson brought up concerns regarding lane removals due to changes with the bicycle lanes.
