Rush Drive to Twin Oaks Valley Road: The project team is happy to share that Rush Drive to Twin Oaks Valley Road will be opening very soon. The private developer working on this roadway is finalizing road striping, and once this is completed, the City can open the road to the public. The remainder of the road (east of Bent/Craven Street) will reopen once Discovery improvements are completed. This is to strategically limit extra traffic on Discovery Street while it’s under construction. Please view the map below to see which portions will be open soon and which will remain closed.

Recent delays and updated schedule: We want to give a huge thank you to the community for your continued patience as construction continues for the Creek project. The team is currently working to finalize a new construction schedule that considers recent delays. These delays are the result of conflicts with SDG&E work to move utility lines underground on Discovery Street. This work must be done before Via Vera Cruz can reopen or Discovery Street improvements can progress as planned. The City of San Marcos is working to resolve these issues as soon as possible, so the project can be completed. 

Currently, the Creek project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023, but this is subject to change, pending weather conditions and third-party delays.  

If you have any questions, please contact the Creek project team by phone at 877-762-7335 or by email at creek@san-marcos.net with your name and phone number.

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.
