City Officials to Move Forward with Coast Highway Plans

City leaders will soon take another step toward rebuilding the Coast Highway.

Oceanside officials plan to hire a consultant to "develop several proposals for reworking Coast Highway in hopes of spurring a revitalization of the once vibrant area along the roadway," according to U-T San Diego.

The study, which may cost about $500,000, comes after the City Council adopted a “Coast Highway Vision Plan” in 2009 with the intention of making the area more "pedestrian-friendly and bicycle-friendly," according to the newspaper.

However, the new study will focus on dealing with traffic in the area, according to the newspaper.
