January 14, 2014 (San Diego) – State Route Highway 52 travels through Mission Gorge and Santee, offering motorists views of the San Diego River and Mission Trails Regional Park. Now the City of San Diego is applying for Scenic Highway designation from the state for the section of State Route 52 from Santo Road to Mast Boulevard, through Mission Trails Regional Park.
The measure passed unanimously. Van Collinsworth at Preserve Wild Santee urges the public to send letters of support for recognizing the scenic value of these resources. Letters should be received by February 28 and may be sent to:
Ms. Melissa Garcia, Senior Planner
City of San Diego
Planning, Neighborhoods & Economic Development Department
1222 First Avenue, MS 413
San Diego, CA 92101-4101
Collinsworth also requested that copies be sent to him at Van27@cox.net

Brilliant Move! :D
Maybe this will preserve for us now, and for future generations, what's definitely worth preserving instead of ruining it by developing it with ugly eyesores such as an unnecessary power plant!
Old 80 is a scenic highway too, as is 94 but big energy
projects are still being proposed there, astoundingly, in the Boulevard/Jacumba area.
