Oceanside, August 3, 2025
Construction at the Oceanside Transit Center for the Pedestrian Crossing Extension starts soon, aiming to enhance safety and access for pedestrians. The project includes new ADA ramps, safety gates, and is expected to last until December 2025, costing $2.6 million. Work will primarily occur overnight and is overseen by the North County Transit District.
Oceanside – Construction on the Oceanside Transit Center Pedestrian Crossing Extension project will commence on Tuesday, August 4. This significant project aims to enhance pedestrian access and safety at the transit center, ultimately shortening the walking distance between the parking lot and the COASTER platform.
The majority of the construction activities will be scheduled during off-peak hours between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. from Monday to Friday. In addition to nighttime work, some daytime activities will take place Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The project is expected to run until December 2025 and is projected to cost $2.6 million. These funds will come from state and federal sources.
Key features of the construction project include the modification of ADA ramps to improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities, the installation of pedestrian gates on either side of the crossing, and enhanced safety measures to ensure secure pedestrian movement. Residents in the surrounding area can anticipate increased noise levels and bright lights during overnight work hours. To address these concerns, contractors will direct lights as necessary to minimize disturbances to nearby homes.
The North County Transit District (NCTD) is overseeing the construction efforts, ensuring that the project is executed efficiently and aligns with safety standards. As part of the communication strategy, an announcement was shared on social media to inform residents about the anticipated construction schedule and encourage community awareness.
This project is a key component of Oceanside’s ongoing efforts to improve transit infrastructure and encourage the use of public transportation. By enhancing pedestrian access, officials aim to facilitate better connectivity for commuters and visitors alike.
The Oceanside Transit Center serves as a crucial hub for public transportation in the region, connecting residents to various transit options, including the COASTER train service. As the use of public transit increases, there is a growing need for infrastructure improvements that enhance the safety and convenience for passengers. The Pedestrian Crossing Extension is part of a broader initiative to modernize transit facilities and promote a user-friendly environment.
Construction will begin on Tuesday, August 4.
