San Luis Rey River Sediment Removal

Beginning this month, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will clear built-up sediment and vegetation from the river between College Boulevard and Whelan Lake Road. Over time, that material narrows the channel, which can push water levels higher during heavy storms. Clearing it restores the river’s capacity to carry stormwater. Residents may see trucks and equipment in and around the riverbed through March.

 

Road Repairs Continue this Month

Crews began a new cycle of repairs across many areas in Oceanside. The initial concrete work (ramps and curbs) began in mid-August, and the asphalt work will run into the new year. Overnight repairs on Vista Way between El Camino Real and College Boulevard begin tonight. This round of repairs will cover 74 lane miles throughout the city. Find out where
