  • Memorial Dr & University Ave La Mesa, CA, 91942, USA - La Mesa
    Hello La Mesa WAKE UP!!!!! Over 5 months ago I made a complaint at this intersection and NOTHING has been done at all with this light. What's going on here La Mesa? I see several other posts complaining about the exact same thing. Why are you not addressing this? I'm coming to the conclusion that the City of La Mesa doesn't care about the environment. Think about all the vehicles that sit at that intersection idle waiting for the light to change. Seriously, don't sit on this with deaf ears. You have been given ample of time to address this and you have done nothing about it. So what is this website for anyways? It's to address issues in the city of La Mesa. Do your job!!!
  • Lake Murray Blvd & Parkway Dr La Mesa, CA, 91942, USA - La Mesa
    On south west bound left turn on Parkway and getting onto 70th/Lake Murray. Many people on the inside lane do not realize that the outside turn lane can go left as well. I nearly see an accident every-time I am at this intersection which is follow by honking and sometimes road rage. I believe it is because the marked lanes in the intersection have worn out. I think remarking the turn line would prevent many potential accidents and road rage.
  • Riviera Dr La Mesa, CA, 91941, USA - La Mesa
    For the millionth time, issues with speeders on Riviera drive. When will something be done about this??? Speeding on this road when they come up the incline or around the bend makes for unsafe conditions for the residents on Belvue and Rojo Tierra Rd. Is it going to take a fatal accident for the city to finally do something? Residents of this area have made multiple complaints and have raised concerns over the years, yet nothing is being done.
  • 4900-4916 Memorial Dr La Mesa, CA, 91942, USA - La Mesa
    So I contacted the City of La Mesa several months ago about the traffic light at the intersection of la Mesa Blvd and Memorial Dr. about the crosswalk signal north and southbound always being on where there is no one activating the crosswalk. So WE have to sit at this light wasting gasoline and polluting the air as we wait for the light to change. As I mentioned, I mentioned this to you almost 5 months ago and your reply was that you are aware of this issue. So whats going on here? Why hasn't this been addressed? It seems to me that this is being totally ignored and La Mesa citizens will continue to be aggravated about this. I have spoken to a few of my neighbors about this and they too are aggravated about this issue. When is this problem going to be addressed?

    There have been previous requests for this to be fixed and the city has acknowledged them but nothing has changed. I use these traffic lights everyday and I am scared crossing the streets by foot and by car because it is dangerous due to cars running the red lights.

    The lights for the East and West flowing traffic on University have a lot of traffic and there is no in between time from when the North and South flowing lights change. It seems that the red light is very short and the cross traffic green light starts right away. This causes cars to run the red lights because they do not have adequate time to react and slow down because the lights are changing so fast.

    This is a huge problem because the lights change so fast without any delay time causing traffic to run red lights and hit the cross traffic. I have witnessed numerous close calls and actual accidents because of the problem. This is a picture of an accident today, on January 11, 2022.

    Please fix this problem ASAP

  • 9512 Milden St La Mesa, CA, 91942, USA - La Mesa
    Request to install speed bumps on the 9500 block of Milden Street.
    The issue is that drivers go too fast on this street, on both directions. I have observed moving vehicles hitting parked vehicles and in one instance, refer to the attached photo, a truck almost hit both a parked vehicle and the fence on that property as the driver went on the sidewalk. Luckily there were no pedestrians passing by when it occurred. It's not an isolated instance, there have been so many closed calls as drivers are going too fast and/or distracted. Please don't wait until property damages occur, or even worse, persons get hurt.
    Thank you.

  • 5880 Lake Murray Blvd La Mesa, California, 91942 - La Mesa
    Good morning,
    I have submitted a traffic service request by email. I have also drafted a letter that I have delivered to all the residents on Lake Murray Blvd where the issue has been going on for more than 25 years. I have attached a copy of the letter.
    Can you let me know what the best way is to have action taken to put in a stop sign or signal, for safety purposes?
    Lake Murray Blvd. and the cross streets of Bob Street and Stadler Street, need to have a stop sign or signal put in immediately. The issue is that Lake Murray Blvd. is downhill and then it curves. Unfortunately, drivers pick up speed and lose control of their vehicles. Either racing or not paying attention as they drive.
    Parked Cars are sideswiped or hit constantly. This past weekend 4/29/22, two drivers were racing and ran off the road and crashed into a neighbor’s garage. This also totaled his car and motorhome. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.
    This issue is personal to me. 4/19/1997 I was struck by a driver that was trying to pick up a cigarette lighter on the floor of his car. He lost control of his vehicle as the road curves. I was outside of my car on the sidewalk. My car was pushed into the tree and totaled. I was hit, by the car that was traveling more than 50 mph. I stopped breathing twice and had 12 broken bones. Hospitalized for close to a month. This happened in front of my mother’s home at 5880 Lake Murray Blvd. My six-year-old son witnessed the crash and we had ongoing counseling to help he and I deal with this nightmare. I continue to have pain after all this time. I am frustrated. What is the best way to have something done?
    I am a logical, smart, and direct person. You will continue to hear from me until this issue is resolved.
    Thank you for looking into fixing this safety issue that has been going on for over 25 years!
