2023 San Marcos Annual Spring Fling

The San Marcos Active Transportation Plan project team held a booth at the San Marcos Chamber’s 31st annual Spring Fling on April 2, 2023.

At the booth, community members were invited to learn more about the existing conditions for bicyclists across the city and to share their input about where they’d like to see traffic calming measures and mid-block crossings throughout their neighborhoods.

Community events like these offer opportunities for the public to learn more details about safety measures like bike facility classifications ranging from bike routes to bike lanes, separated bikeways, and multi-use paths! Sharing these approaches to bike safety means a clearer vision for the future of active transportation across the city and more informed conversations about possible tactics to improve these conditions, including neighborhood traffic circles, chicanes, speed humps, and mid-block crossings.

Two people stand in front of the project map boards, one of them placing a sticker on the map wearing a ball cap and a red t-shirt, the other in a green, floral dress. A project team member gestures toward the board enthusiastically with a sun hat.

An excited participant in a red tank top and a backwards baseball cap poses with one of the interactive map boards, looking over the shoulder and pointing to a location on the San Marcos map.

A family with two bicycles (one with a baby carrier, where a baby is sitting with a helmet on their head) stand in front of the interactive map boards. Both adults appear to be reading information about the project, and one is discussing the printed material with a member of the project team. Both adults are still wearing their helmets at the booth.

A parent and her middle school child stand near the interactive map board and look at a member of the project team while she describes the project board to them.

An image of the two interactive maps with the types of bike protections and other safety measures listed in the event summary appears on easels in front of the project team's canopied booth.

San Marcos Harvest Fest

On Sunday, October 9, 2022, our public outreach team connected with community members at this year's Harvest Fest.

We asked what you'd like to see more of in San Marcos, and you delivered!

You gave us feedback on enhanced pedestrian crossings, secure bike parking, and so much more! The Harvest Fest allowed community members to learn more about the future of active transportation and encouraged residents to provide input on which elements would best support their day-to-day experiences getting around San Marcos.

Check out our gallery to see photo highlights from the Harvest Fest. We appreciate your participation and look forward to seeing you at the next community event!
