TOD Master Plans in North San Diego County

NCTD is putting together urban living
in San Diego County's suburban cities of
Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Escondido.


Urban development is coming to the suburbs. Above is the Oceanside Transit Center master plan.
One personal suggestion: Let's make sure the lower income workers can afford to live there too!

NCTD is working to create joint use development opportunities at several Transit Centers. These development opportunities not only enhance community vitality by taking advantage of the special people and gathering place features of transit centers, but also are desirable locations that support convenience, mobility, mixed use, and an vibrant pedestrian environment.

Shea Properties, Inc. is currently working to create the Cedros Crossing, a Transit Oriented Development at NCTD's Solana Beach Transit Center, and Loranda Development has obtained development approvals at the future San Luis Rey Transit Center.

New opportunities are being created by NCTD partnering with the cities of Carlsbad, Escondido and Oceanside to create long-term land use Master Plans for the transit centers in these cities. The Master Plans will layout the physical improvements of the centers for transit operations and conceptually plan transit-oriented development opportunities for qualified development firms.

Wow...3 large parking garages and that's considered TOD? Unless we change our parking requirements...it'll be too easy to continue bypassing mass transit for the car. Why should somebody like me, take mass transit when the freeway goes directly to my destination and there's free parking? You don't have this option in Chicago, New York, London, Paris, etc....that's why transit is seen as the # 1 choice. LA can start off small with reducing parking requirements in Koreatown, Downtown, Hollywood, East LA, Long Beach, etc...places were a viable alternative exists. I live in downtown and use my car only once a week. What's the purpose of additional parking spots here?
