OCNA Works for Seaside Neighbors!
The Board is meeting regularly with city officials to keep our Seaside neighborhood safe and clean!
- The city is working to identify and paint red curbs on critical intersections to improve visibility for drivers and neighbors.
- We are currently working on a pre-Coast Hwy Redevelopment plan for traffic calming and cut through traffic Tremont, Ditmar, and Freeman streets.
- We successfully worked with the city to stop the unpermitted harboring of homeless reducing negative impacts and crimes.
- We continue to work with staff on pressing the NCTD project for more transparency and mitigate negative bus circulation impacts.

2025 NEW PARKING RULES
NO PARKING 20FT FROM CURBS!
State Assembly Bill 413 prohibits the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of the side of an intersection, whether or not the curb is painted red. This is a safety measure known as “daylighting.”
Some curbs will be painted red. However, it is a violation to park in the “daylighted” areas regardless of whether the curb is painted red or not.
On a two-way street, only the space on the right-side approaching a crosswalk as one is driving is affected. On a one-way street, both the left and the right curb areas 20 feet from the crosswalk are no parking zones.
The City has told us that they will probably begin by writing warnings for each first infraction but after that they will give tickets to repeat offenders.
For more information or questions on AB 413, please contact Oceanside’s Traffic Engineering department at 760-435-4500.

OCNA Board of Directors
OCNA presents two important topics for our neighborhood this month!
OCNA presents important topics - Don’t miss it!
Kymberly Corbin, P.E., Senior Civil Engineer at the City will present an update on our important beach assets: the Pier base, Amphitheatre, and Recreation Center. The Pier base (before the wooden structure) is nearly 100 years old and in desperate need of structural repairs, as does the Amphitheatre and Rec Centers to bring up to code and ADA requirements.
*** In addition, an update will be given on the progress of the pier reconstruction. Come and ask questions! ***
