Connecting and Informing Neighbors
HELP SUPPORT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!
OCNA is Working for YOU!
OCNA Board and neighbor members are working to improve our neighborhood!
- In December, we met with NCTD leaders about mitigating the negative traffic impacts to neighbors surrounding the transit depot.
- We also met with District 1 Councilperson Eric Joyce to discuss how we can continue the efforts on parking permits to ensure residents have a place to park as we grow.
- In addition, we also met with Chief of Police, Taurino Valdovinos about traffic and noise calming on Coast Hwy for pedestrian safety.
- OCNA Board will continue to pursue these efforts in 2026 until we see improvements in the chronic issues impacting our neighborhood!

KEEP YOUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS:
To keep New Year's resolutions:
- make them specific ie: walk 15 mins, 3x/week
- instead of “get fit”, break them into small steps
- find an accountability partner and track progress
- build enjoyment into the process
- and be kind to yourself when you slip up
**Focus on forming new, enjoyable habits like walking to the weekly Farmers Market each Thursday from 9AM – 1PM **

OCEANSIDE CRIME DECREASES!
OPD reports significant progress in reducing crime across the city, with the recent countywide crime statistics report marking another year of positive trends for Oceanside.
“Group A” criminal offenses—which include
all major crimes against people, property,
and society, declined by an impressive 21%
from 2021 to 2024.
This substantial reduction reflects the ongoing effectiveness of OPD initiatives throughout the city. Even in the most recent period from 2023 to 2024, Oceanside maintained this downward trajectory with a 7% decrease in total crimes.
