City looks for input on Sidewalk Maintenance and Infill Gap Plan

The City of San Marcos is seeking input as it plans to update its Five-Year Sidewalk Maintenance and Gap Infill Plan. 

The city’s public services department will hold a public meeting at the San Marcos Activity Center — 501 E. Hopkins St. — on Monday, Jan. 27 at 6 p.m. to receive community input on the plan.

“Community residents, businesses and organizations are invited to share their ideas for future improvements to make sidewalks more accessible, connected and safe for everyone,” the city said in a press release. 

The city’s Five-Year Sidewalk Maintenance and Gap Infill Plan intends to maintain and install sidewalks in areas without pedestrian facilities, the city said. The plan adds sidewalks where no right-of-way acquisition or major engineering design is required. New sidewalks and gap infill are constructed to meet or exceed the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards while creating a better-connected pedestrian network across San Marcos.
