La Mesa Daily Brief: Transit Feedback, Community Events, Police Update

Transit Survey Seeks Local Input

La Mesa residents who rely on buses or the trolley have a new chance to weigh in on how local transit is working. City officials are encouraging people who live, work, or spend time in La Mesa to share their experiences through a short regional transit survey.

The feedback will be used to better understand rider needs, from reliability and safety to stop locations and schedules. Officials say responses from East County communities are especially important as future service adjustments are considered.

Police Confirm Missing Woman Is Safe

La Mesa police confirmed this week that a woman who was reported missing in late January has been located and is safe. The update brings closure to a case that prompted a countywide alert and public assistance request.

Authorities thanked community members who shared information and stayed alert during the search. Police did not release additional details, citing privacy concerns, but emphasized the positive outcome.

Farmers Market Returns This Afternoon

The La Mesa Village Farmers Market is back this afternoon, continuing its regular Friday run in the village area. Local growers, food vendors, and small businesses are expected to fill the street with fresh produce and prepared foods.

The market has become a weekly gathering point for residents and is one of the most visible signs of downtown activity heading into the weekend. Shoppers are encouraged to plan ahead for limited parking and increased foot traffic.

Looking Ahead in the Community

City calendars show several meetings and neighborhood events coming up over the next few days, including advisory board sessions and volunteer activities. Residents are encouraged to check official city notices for times, locations, and any last-minute changes.
