May 2009
Greetings! I hope this spring finds you outside, enjoying the beauty of the season in Santa Clarita.
City Hall is a busy place these days with our employees working on a number of programs and projects aimed at improving our quality of life here in Santa Clarita. Work is well underway for the last phase of the Cross Valley Connector, an 8.5 mile roadway that connects SR 14 with I-5 through the City. The two bridges that will ultimately connect Golden Valley Road with Newhall Ranch Road and Bouquet Canyon are expected to be completed next spring. On the west side of town, we are finishing up the expansion of Magic Mountain Parkway at the Old Road, including the expansion of the freeway on and off ramps. Look for that multi-year project to conclude later this summer.
And speaking of summer, we are gearing up for another great season of free concerts in the park. Every Saturday night at Central Park, you and your family are invited to enjoy the sounds of summer at no charge. The summer season kicks off with a great day of 4th of July events including a 5K run, the traditional 4th of July parade and fireworks at the Mall. Check out the City's website for a listing of the free concerts and 4th of July events.
In Old Town Newhall, we are well underway with the first two blocks of our streetscape program. Construction of the streetscape project in Old Town is expected to be completed in early July and includes new street furniture, landscaping and hardscaping aimed at dramatically improving the look of the area. Future phases of the project will commence as new development locates to the area.
If your four-legged friend needs a vaccination, look no further than the City's low-cost doggie vaccination clinic happening Saturday, May 2 from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Central Park, 27150 Bouquet Canyon Road. Your dog may also receive a dog license-renewal and free micro-chipping. For more information, contact the City of Santa Clarita at 661-286-4193.
