Through a Smart and Sustainable Corridors Plan (SCCP), the City will seek to channel future housing and employment growth into the City’s commercial corridors while maintaining the integrity of adjacent residential neighborhoods.
What is a Smart and Sustainable Corridors Plan?
More density of people and jobs along key transit corridors can support more frequent, more reliable transit, as well as walkable and bikable communities and commutes. The City of Oceanside received a grant through the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Grant Program to plan for more sustainable growth along Mission Avenue, Oceanside Boulevard, and Vista Way. The plan will focus on: planning infrastructure that is bicycle, pedestrian, and transit-friendly; increasing mixed-use development; decreasing greenhouse gas emissions through increased use of transit, walking, and biking; attracting more commercial and industrial businesses and jobs to Oceanside; preserving the City’s open space and reducing sprawl; and supporting the rest of the work of the General Plan Update.
The SCCP will identify ways to facilitate infill and redevelopment along the three corridors, and will also consider public realm improvements that better accommodate public transit and active transportation, including more comfortable pedestrian infrastructure, safe and direct bike networks, and good connections to transit.
