Oakland Park is bisected by the [[Florida East Coast Railway]], which runs parallel to [[Dixie Highway]] through the city's downtown. The City of Oakland Park has put into place new zoning regulations intended to transform downtown Oakland Park into a mixed-use pedestrian community. One element of the proposal is the creation of a new [[regional rail|commuter rail]] station on the FEC rail line. Oakland Park borders the city of [[Wilton Manors, Florida|Wilton Manors]]. Increased property prices in Wilton Manors have pushed up prices in Oakland Park and spurred interest in the city's downtown redevelopment plan.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.oaklandparkmainstreet.com/index.html |title=Oakland Park Main Street |publisher=Oakland Park Main Street |access-date=2007-09-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070913160652/http://www.oaklandparkmainstreet.com/index.html |archive-date=2007-09-13 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
