As part of the Code Rodeo come-and-go Open House, the City of San Marcos Engineering Department will present an update on the Transportation Master Plan Monday, Oct. 27 from 5-7 p.m. at Code Rodeo Headquarters, 317 North LBJ Drive. Staff will be on hand to speak with residents about their views and concerns on traffic and mobility in San Marcos and to give an update on the progress of the new Transportation Master Plan.

City engineers and planners received feedback from the public on their transportation priorities at the Rhythm of the Street event in July and welcome more input at the Open House.

Progress on the plan so far includes future travel forecasts, the incorporation of bike and transit routes in proposed improvements, and the creation of new cross sections that implement the City’s Complete Streets policy.

The update to the Transportation Master Plan is being completed in conjunction with the rewrite of the City’s Land Development Code, Code SMTX, to align it with Vision San Marcos, the City’s comprehensive master plan adopted by the City Council in April 2013.

Engineering will have another open house in the Spring of 2015 to obtain input on the capital improvements projects developed to meet future transportation needs.

All interested citizens are encouraged to attend, provide feedback and learn about the next steps in the process.

For more information on the project, please call the City of San Marcos Engineering Department at 512.393.8130.
