El Cajon Boulevard is a major east–west thoroughfare through San Diego, La Mesa and El Cajon, California. Before the creation of Interstate 8 it was the principal automobile route from San Diego to El Cajon, the Imperial Valley, and points east as U.S. Route 80; it is now signed as a business loop of Interstate 8.Route descriptionThe boulevard now consists of two disconnected portions, one in San Diego and La Mesa, and the other in El Cajon. The central section through La Mesa's Grossmont Pass was obliterated when Interstate 8 was built.HistoryIt was formerly part of U.S. Route 80, and became a business loop for Interstate 8 when U.S. Route 80 was decommissioned and replaced by the interstate. It is designated as a historic highway by the state of California. Only portions of what would become El Cajon Boulevard in both La Mesa and El Cajon were originally part of US 80. During a re-routing through San Diego onto Park Boulevard in 1929, the western portion of El Cajon Boulevard was added to US 80. The next section of El Cajon Boulevard added to US 80 was between La Mesa and El Cajon around 1940. Today, most of the latter route from La Mesa to El Cajon has been overlaid by I-8. The final part of El Cajon Boulevard to receive the US 80 designation was a small piece between Park Boulevard and Normal Street in the late 1940s early 1950s when US 80 was re-routed off Park Boulevard onto the new Cabrillo Freeway. US 80 ceased to exist legislatively within California after July 1, 1964.

For the past thirteen years, T3 Triple Threat Youth Mentors has provided arts education to help disadvantaged/ at-risk youth gain new skills in the performing arts and life, as wells as connect to positive role models. Our organization is dedicated to enriching the lives of youth in need through the performing arts. Using professional teachers and experienced performers we offer pay-as-you-can voice, dance and acting training and mentoring. This winter and spring, we will provide 50 youth with opportunities that will define their formative years through a series of summer and arts after school activities, consisting of academic tutoring and performing arts education. In a conservatory setting students gain extensive training in dance, acting and voice, while having access academic support. Our program culminates in a Broadway styled musical. Once youth enroll in the program, they will be mentored by some of the region’s most accomplished professional instructors and experienced performers. For example, in 2011 and 2013 we have had the involvement of Grammy-nominated recording artist Josh Groban. This keeps kids engaged in the program, and shows them that with hard work and perseverance they, too, could potentially find a career in the performing arts. T3’s primary focus is for our students to succeed in school and within their communities. We accomplish this by using dance, voice, and acting classes as avenues to build confidence and work ethics as part of a valuable skill-set that enables students to become working professionals, no matter the field.
