The middle section of El Cajon Blvd. (as it crosses through the city) has the potential to become a commercial “village” with a fine-grain, “Main Street” feeling and a highly walk-able environment. The key focus of land uses in this area is to encourage small-scale, fine-grain commercial with active sidewalks and engaging storefronts in the middle section of the boulevard, flanked on the ends by higher intensity commercial, mixed-use developments with an active ground floor. By reclaiming a portion of the right-of-way, the street can be reconfigured with wide sidewalks, plazas, and sidewalk cafes to complement active commercial uses. In addition, new developments are encouraged to provide public spaces on the street to help enliven the street experience
