East County residents have several local items worth noting heading into the weekend. Tonight at Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve, 9310 Fanita Parkway, the band Almost Unplugged performs as part of the Concert Series on Deck from 5 to 7 p.m. Admission is free; parking costs seven dollars, and that stub can be applied toward a twenty-dollar-or-more purchase at the Topwater Grill. Saturday brings Santee Swim Day at the Santee Aquatics Center — free admission from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
In La Mesa, Lavell Street between La Cuesta Drive and Grandview Drive is under traffic control Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. while Helix Water District replaces cathodic unions; drivers in that corridor should use alternates and allow extra time. A permanent traffic change is also now in effect nearby: a new roundabout opened August 8th at El Paso Street and Dalhart Avenue near Murray Manor.
A community crime-feed report lists a street robbery with a weapon at the 9400 block of Cuyamaca Street in Santee at 9:17 p.m. on August 7th. The report is preliminary rather than a verified Sheriff's news release, and details on arrests, injuries, or case status have not been confirmed through official channels. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the San Diego County Sheriff's Santee substation.
