EL CAJON — The El Cajon City Council last month gave the go-ahead to a project called “Main Street Green Street.” It is intended to make the area near the El Cajon Transit Center greener, more accessible and safer for bike riders and pedestrians and encourage public transit use. Tony Mendoza, associate engineer for El Cajon, said that while there is not a large number of cyclists frequenting the area, the thought is that if the city makes areas safer and more accommodating, it will encourage more activity. The project is one of the first steps in the city’s Transit District Specific Plan, adopted by the City Council in 2018. The plan laid out a blueprint for redeveloping about 260 acres surrounding the El Cajon Transit Center at 352 S. Marshall Ave.
