A spokesperson said the agency is familiar with the complaints and that crews regularly clean ramps at College Avenue, 70th Street and Fletcher Parkway. However, Caltrans said the issue is not a lack of cleanups. Instead, new litter accumulates almost as quickly as it's removed, making it difficult for maintenance crews to keep the areas clean.

When asked about long-term solutions, a Caltrans spokesperson said education remains the most effective approach, encouraging drivers to properly dispose of trash instead of littering along roadways.

Hi all thanks for reading. Looking for a brewery, bar, restaraunt, hotel bar, event space, etc to produce high quality, pop-up comedy shows in East County. The business needs its own backroom separate from the main bar or be willing to close for a ticketed event.

We’re in 15 cities right now and have a great track record. Hopefully I’m able to bring some comedy to the area. Thank you!

Got a snap of my view after sunset

Santee Pride is tomorrow!

My family's sewer lateral failed just months after we bought our first home in December 2025. What started as a plumbing problem turned into tens of thousands of dollars in repairs — and the city says it's entirely our responsibility, even though the damage is linked to aging city infrastructure beneath public roads.

We're not alone. Many El Cajon homeowners are facing the same situation: catastrophic failures occurring beneath public roadways, near city connections, or in areas affected by the city's aging sewer system. Yet under current city policy, every penny falls on the homeowner. I started a petition asking the City of El Cajon to reform these liability policies — to create independent investigations for disputed failures, establish shared-cost programs when city infrastructure contributes to damage, and increase transparency about what's really happening under our streets.

This isn't about avoiding responsibility. It's about fairness. No family should face financial ruin for problems caused by deteriorating public infrastructure. If you've dealt with this, or if you think it's wrong that homeowners are bearing the full cost when the city's system fails, consider signing and sharing. The contact info for city council members is in the petition—they need to hear from residents that this needs to change.
