Public Workshop on Beach Sand June 30 |
The Oceanside Public Works Department will be hosting the 2nd public workshop via Zoom on June 30 at 6:00 p.m. to share the final results of the beach sand replenishment and retention feasibility study. The purpose of the study is to find a solution to protect City beaches from the impacts of long-term shoreline erosion. The study includes preliminary engineering evaluations to consider options to stabilize and enhance the beach widths in the City. Six preliminary concepts were developed: 3 replenishment options and 3 retention options. The goal is to identify a strategy that is environmentally sensitive, financially feasible, and has a reasonable chance of being approved through the regulatory permitting process.

Street Sweeping Parking Enforcement to Resume June 21 |
The City will resume enforcement for street sweeping parking violations beginning June 21, 2021. Street sweeping parking enforcement was paused over a year ago to accommodate residents due to the pandemic. Now that Stay at Home Orders are being lifted, enforcement will resume on designated street sweeping days to ensure gutters can be cleaned and reduce pollution entering storm drains. Please refer to the street signs on your block for the days/times of parking restrictions, and move your vehicles accordingly. Before that time, we’ll leave flyers on unmoved vehicles as a courtesy, so please don’t mistake these notices for parking tickets. To avoid a ticket on street sweeping days, make sure to move your car according to posted restrictions, beginning June 21, 2021.

Measure X: Putting Your Funds to Work |

Measure X is facilitating a historic investment in revitalizing heavily used public spaces like roads, beachfront areas, and the Pier. The most recent Measure X-funded roadwork included a full-depth reclamation on Industry St. and a much-needed overlay on Mission Avenue from I-5 to Clementine. Another round of road projects that Measure X is contributing to is planned for this summer. More information
