San Marcos Downtown Area Plan

CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS

MULTIMODAL CONNECTIVITY & PARKING The map on the next page illustrates priorities for new and improved sidewalks. Improvements are focused on areas where sidewalks are missing, inaccessible, or inconsistent on both sides of the road. Sidewalks are also prioritized for completion/improvements near parks. Sidewalk construction and design should incorporate existing zoning code requirements related to their construction, including larger widths to allow for significant pedestrian traffic and sidewalk amenities, and tree or landscaping buffers between the sidewalk and street to increase pedestrian comfort and safety.
