The City of Santa Clarita is commencing its design phase of the San Fernando Road Median
Improvement Project in fulfillment of the Five Year Capital Improvement Program. Thisproject
will provide the design for the construction and landscaping of raised medians from Sierra
Flighway to Valle Del Oro which is a distance of about one mile. The median design concept will
be similar to landscape improvements on Bouquet Canyon and Soledad Canyon Roads.
Staff is working with Wieneke and Associates, Inc. on the median improvement design.
Complete services will include survey, civil engineering, plan preparation, specifications, and
final construction cost estimates. Wieneke and Associates, Inc. has been pre -qualified for design
services and has recent experience with the City's Median Improvement Program.

combination of both the Sierra Highway Median Landscaping Project ($130,000) and the
San Fernando RoadBeautification Project ($80,000)., Staff believes that available funding may
best be used by consolidating the two beautification projects in the community of Newhall.
Moreover, the project design will accentuate the San Fernando Road entryway which is
consistent with the Community Design element of the General Plan.

Project to be charged to account number 12002-455-8001.
