East County commuters got their first glimpse of a proposed project to redesign a 6-mile stretch of state Route 52 on Thursday.
With the goal of improving longstanding traffic issues, Caltrans is studying potential improvements to SR-52 in the Tierrasanta and Santee area between Interstate 15 and state Route 125, including the Mast Boulevard Interchange. The project is in collaboration with the San Diego Association of Governments and the City of Santee.
“We started raising questions for this project in 2019, when we formed the Highway 52 Coalition,” Santee Mayor John Minto said. “Now what we have to do is put our nose to the grindstone and get the rest of things done.”
The project, which is the early stage, proposes the addition of managed lanes, addressing bottlenecks and a relocated bike path.
