San Marcos will begin installing new street signs in the downtown area this week.
The branded street signs are part of the Main Street Program’s efforts to showcase downtown’s rich historic character, vibrant public art and distinctive attractions.
The signs were developed through months of research and collaboration between the Main Street Advisory Board, Main Street committees, the Downtown Design Task Force, city departments and community members.
The final design was created by the San Marcos Convention and Visitor Bureau. A heart symbolizes love for downtown and a wave references the beloved San Marcos River, which borders the downtown district.

Citing an increase in visitors not wearing masks, Round Rock Public Library Director Michelle Cervantes this week reminded patrons that they must wear face coverings inside the library. We have had occasions where folks don t want to wear their mask, or they only cover their mouth but not their nose, Cervantes said. We ask that people must wear a mask and have them be worn properly when inside our building.
An ordinance passed unanimously by the City Council on June 29 requires those ages 10 and older to wear face coverings in public places when social distancing is not possible. It also requires businesses to display a notice of the requirement.
