DATE: February 14, 1995
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN - ACTION ITEM #1 - NEW ROAD
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
DESCRIPTION OF ITEM
As part of the October 8, 1994 Community Strategic Plan, the participants identified the
"lack of adequate" roadways throughout the Valley as a major concern. The focus was
centered on east/west circulation, but there was an overall desire to construct new roadway
links.
In order to meet the goals outlined in the plan regarding new roadways, staff has developed
a public participation plan to maximize public input regarding options to be reviewed and
studied. This is the first step in identifying a new roadway which will serve the community
and improve circulation Valleywide. The preliminary list outlined below has been assembled
from past public meetings in which information was presented to the City Council, Planning
Commission and the Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee.
Possible roadway links:
• Via Princessa from Rainbow Glen Drive to Wiley Canyon Drive
• Santa Clarita Parkway from Bouquet Canyon Road to Soledad Canyon Road
• Santa Clarita Parkway south
• Newhall Ranch Road east and west of Bouquet Canyon Road
• Lyons Avenue extension between San Fernando Road and Dockweiler Drive
• Golden Valley Road north or south of Soledad Canyon Road
Once the list has been established based upon input from the City Council and the public,
the various links will be evaluated: The factors which will be used in evaluating the options
will include:
• Funding/financing considerations.
• Applicability of CEQA review.
• Potential need for General Plan Amendment.
• Immediate traffic circulation benefit.
