Measure X is the 1/2 cent sales tax increase passed by Oceanside voters, which went into effect in April 2019. Measure X funding is strictly slated for road repairs, infrastructure improvements, public safety, and addressing homelessness. At its meeting last night, the City Council awarded a contract for over $4.6 million for road repairs this year. This is a combination of Measure X revenue, SB 1 (gas tax) and TransNet funding. Streets were selected using the City’s Pavement Management Program and citizen comments. Some streets will be rebuilt, some with grind and overlay, and others will be slurry sealed. This is to include the replacement of ADA curb ramps. Construction is scheduled from early summer to late fall.
