San Marcos crews began installing a new city marker along S. I-35, highlighting aspects of the community’s identity.
The gist
The city’s first-ever gateway sign is taking shape along the Texas Department of Transportation’s, or TxDOT, right-of-way. City crews will continue to install stonework, landscaping and lighting to complete the signage.
The marker’s design is consistent with existing wayfinding and park signage in San Marcos, featuring colors and materials inspired by the area’s natural surroundings, including:

The gateway sign was funded with remaining dollars from the Ranch Road 12 extension project, according to the city of San Marcos. The project was completed in 2010 and the funding could only be used within the TxDOT right-of-way.
