This Streets and Utilities project is an integral part of the North Campus Enhancement (NCE) package. It supports traffic and utilities relocation for the Matthews Parking Garage, the Cogen Expansion and future housing projects. Due to the project’s impact on City of San Marcos streets and traffic, an independent traffic study was completed and acceptance by the City of San Marcos was obtained. Various unidentified scope issues were discovered related to multiple major utility relocations, traffic control and phasing of elements of adjacent projects. The CM@R received GMP approval and initiated a seven-phase construction schedule in July 2008, which coordinated many different university stakeholders and three adjacent construction projects. 
 
Status:  The project is 75% complete with five of the seven phases of construction complete. The remaining phases involve a gray-to-green upgrade of the Comanche @ Sessom Street parking lot to adapt the lot to the Student Center Drive upgrades. The final phase is pending completion of Matthews Street Garage project in August 2010.
