San Marcos Creek Project | August 19

Discovery Street traffic shift: Starting early next week, traffic will be shifted to the north side of the road and construction work will begin on the south side of Discovery Street. Crews will demolish and rebuild the pavement, sidewalks and gutters.

Discovery Street reopened: Once traffic is shifted and work begins, the Discovery Street detour will reopen between Via Vera Cruz and Applewilde Drive.

Discovery Street sound wall: A few weeks after crews switch work to the south side of Discovery Street, construction of a sound wall will begin between Via Vera Cruz and Craven Road. This sound wall will help to protect residents from noises from the street. Construction will happen during the same time as the Discovery Street improvements and could take up to 5 months to construct.

Discovery to Twin Oaks Extension: Crews are working on the Discovery Street extension to Twin Oaks Valley Road. Once completed, the City will strategically schedule opening the road to prevent cut-through traffic and maintain the safety of construction crews and low traffic volume for residents near the Creek project.

The San Marcos Creek Project is a 214-acre project adjacent to the San Marcos Creek, generally bounded by:

  • West San Marcos Boulevard to the north
  • Grand Avenue to the east
  • Via Vera Cruz to the west
  • Discovery Avenue to the south

The Creek Project will add the needed infrastructure to reduce long-standing flooding issues and improve traffic circulation while revitalizing and preserving the San Marcos Creek. The project will minimize flooding risks, preserve and enhance the creek habitat, and build a new park and trails. Learn more about the project on our website, www.san-marcos.net/creek.
