• Santee Bar, Adult Cited In Underage Alcohol Operations (patch.com) — Law enforcement used minor decoys at several businesses, including one Santee bar that allegedly sold alcohol to an underage buyer, during countywide operations targeting underage drinking. Deputies also cited an adult who bought alcohol for a minor, and officials highlighted fines, community service penalties, and an ongoing grant-funded effort to curb youth access to alcohol in Santee and nearby communities. 
• San Diego lacks necessary bike infrastructure, experts say (inewsource.org) — Santee is among several San Diego County cities now enforcing stricter e-bike rules for kids under 12, but experts argue real safety gains will come from better bike infrastructure. The article details how limited, piecemeal protected bike lanes across the region leave riders exposed, and highlights calls for more funding and connected, Class I and IV routes to reduce crashes and support youth mobility.
