La Mesa Trolley Fixes Cost Millions | San Diego News

La Mesa’s traffic nightmare at Spring Street and La Mesa Boulevard just got a pricey, complex fix: SANDAG’s study reveals three major options—elevating, burying, or lowering the trolley tracks—all costing hundreds of millions. The most feasible? An elevated trolley, despite its staggering price tag, since digging underground is too expensive and lowering the street would wreck local shops. A cheaper, quicker fix? $13 million in sidewalk and signal tweaks. Meanwhile, increasing Orange Line frequency could make things worse without first solving the intersection. Funded by a $500K Caltrans grant, this long-awaited study gives the city council real options—if they can find the funding to act.
