Road to Mesa View making progress

CALIMESA - Saturday morning a road construction crew was working on the road that winds its way from Sandalwood Drive through the foothills south of Calimesa to Mesa View Middle School, which is expected to open in time for the 2009 - 2010 school year.

The school, which cost $34 million, has sat empty for over four years until the contentious issue of where an access road to the school would be built could be resolved. The school was built to accommodate 1,700 students.
