San Marcos Downtown Area Plan

CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS

CONCEPTUAL STREET SECTIONS (Recommendation D.2) PRIORITY STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS The community expressed a desire for improving downtown streets to be comfortable for all San Marcos residents and to accommodate all modes of transportation, including pedestrians and bikes. The following pages include a few priority streets identified by the community which can be improved to meet the community’s goal. Many of these street improvements would assist in making certain streets, such as South LBJ Drive, more attractive to pedestrians due to slower vehicular traffic, wider sidewalks, and additional shade. Streetscape improvements can spur additional shopping and visitation to existing or new small businesses along the street.
