Roads and Junctions We Know in San Marco
San Marco runs along the east bank of the St. Johns River just south of downtown. San Marco Boulevard is the main street through the neighborhood, Hendricks Avenue runs parallel to it, and Atlantic Boulevard starts near the square and heads east. The corners locals know best are San Marco Boulevard at Atlantic Boulevard by the square, Hendricks Avenue at Atlantic Boulevard and Prudential Drive at Hendricks Avenue on the Southbank.
I-95 runs along the east edge of the neighborhood, and the Main Street and Acosta bridges carry traffic across to downtown. The I-95 ramps near Prudential Drive and Atlantic Boulevard back up at rush hour, which is hard on brakes and cooling systems.
Landmarks and Things to Do in San Marco
San Marco Square is known for its lion fountain, its restaurants and its small shops, and Balis Park hosts events on the square through the year. On the Southbank, Treaty Oak Park shelters a live oak believed to be hundreds of years old, the Friendship Fountain sits on the riverwalk, and the Museum of Science and History is right next to it.
Most parking around the square is on the street or in small lots behind the shops. The side streets are narrow and lined with old trees, so tell us if the car is in a tight driveway or a back alley when you call.
Weather and Your Car in San Marco
The big oaks that shade San Marco drop leaves, acorns and pollen onto parked cars all year, and that debris clogs cowl drains and sunroof drains, which can leave water on the floor after a storm. The yellow pine pollen every spring also loads cabin filters quickly.
Parts of San Marco near the river flooded badly during Hurricane Irma, and heavy summer storms still put water across low streets. If a car has sat in standing water, have it checked before you drive far, because water can reach the engine, the brakes and the wiring.

San Marco Car Repair Questions
Why is there water on the floor of my car after rain?
In San Marco the usual cause is a sunroof or cowl drain blocked with leaves and pollen from the oaks. The mechanic tests the drains and seals and clears or repairs them on site.
Can you work on my car in a narrow driveway?
Usually yes. Tell us how much room there is around the car when you call so the mechanic can plan the job.
My car sat in floodwater. Is it safe to start?
Do not keep cranking it. Call 904-447-8792 and let the mechanic check the oil, the air intake and the wiring first.
