By constructing two new bridges within the city, the San Marcos Creek will be channelized ensuring citizen safety and easier mobility around the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the project also has environmental benefits. As a result, approximately 1.5 miles of natural habitat will be preserved and enhanced in conjunction with a park creation that will serve as protection for local endangered wildlife. Lastly, the project will allow for the San Marcos Creek to be prominently displayed and allow San Diegans to enjoy the creek in a new and unique way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Accountability.jpg\" width=\"487\" height=\"292\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/planeta\/46512982932\/in\/photolist-2dScckA-VwRr9h-8Jg2JX-k1n7E2-qfwstJ-o6pSLP-gZCzb-Uv16Nh-enEdno-snk59Q-qfvzds-jV9AzN-iNu4wA-j3iwb7-ckK8Ts-29Eyin9-KVVrQ-VJ12yG-Uv1hus-rUnq7-Uv1bbA-awfFzk-nznEc3-WPSi9L-RqXaGy-VMy5bx-DAvey-HEkqR5-D2CFj-VyD667-2jxiLu-V34t1b-puLCB5-o2vgjD-pVNgNb-en5w3D-puHVLc-8ku5Rw-24GPm9s-V34czb-221B9tw-pMhLzs-en5upx-24LzUWV-XjhkEz-niaHHt-UoFK42-24GPjqs-en5xKB-6u7BQ2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo by Ron Mader via Flickr<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entire project will cost around $100 million, but will serve as a crucial and necessary investment for San Marcos.
