A 51-inch live oak tree in Kyle will be moved to accommodate a road project this fall, and the city is taking steps to preserve it.

In February, Kyle City Council voted 6-1 to relocate the tree near Old Stagecoach Road to make way for the widening of the road to four lanes, according to previous reporting by Community Impact.

The project: This project will widen and reconstruct Old Stagecoach Road and a portion of Center Street to make it a continuous four-lane roadway, a news release by the city of Kyle states.

Why it matters: The Old Stagecoach Heritage Oak will be carefully relocated to a nearby city-owned site at the 6 Creeks Subdivision, creating a small park to preserve and protect it, according to a news release by the city.

Stay tuned: Rachel Sonnier, a spokesperson for the city of Kyle, said the tree is set to be moved sometime this fall, but the relocation has not yet begun.

A new office suite is set to take shape in Buda as part of the ongoing expansion of Stonefield 35, an office and warehouse development.

The details: The suite will bring 2,675 square feet of newly finished interior space to the development.

Scheduled for completion by December, the estimated cost is $560,000.
