On June 21, 2018, construction will begin on the San Antonio Street and Garison Road project.  In November 2014, the citizens of Buda approved the road improvement project as part of an overall bond to address municipal facilities, streets, drainage, and parks and trails.

The San Antonio Street and Garison Road Improvement project will focus on intersection safety improvements by separating San Antonio Street and Garison Road turning movements. San Antonio Street will be reconstructed from San Marcos Street to Main Street. The project will improve access to City Park and address safety concerns at the San Antonio Street and Garison Road intersection. Other improvements include the widening of existing pavement to enhance parking at City Park and aesthetic enhancements.
