Oceanside transit center redevelopment receives OK to continue
Following a recent vote of city council, the Oceanside Transit Center’s redevelopment is set to move forward to the California Coastal Commission for final approval.
Part of the North County Transit District’s (NCTD) expansive transit-oriented development strategy is to add retail shops, housing, and a new public plaza in the center of downtown Oceanside, and to modernize one of the busiest transportation hubs of the region. Enhancements to the hub include improvements to the waiting area, a new customer service center, a public parking structure, and a park-like Station Plaza.
One particularly impactful change will be the relocation of the bus island resulting in cutting walking distance for travelers by 50 percent due to enabling direct bus-to-rail transfers. In addition to the transit upgrades, the $100m project will also include a 170 hotel rooms, almost 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 547 residential units, with 15% set aside for moderate-to-low-income households. Brochure printing services can help attract interest in rental units even before they are finished.
Another element of the redevelopment will be the relocation of NCTD’s headquarters to South Tremont Street from its current location at 810 Mission Avenue, making room for an additional 206 mixed-income housing units. The first of 11 planned station redevelopments, the Oceanside Transit Center is the one station served by every major transit mode of the North County and Southern California.
The station redevelopment policy was adopted by the NCTD in 2016.
