BACKGROUND
This project will underground all the existing overhead facilities along Soledad Canyon Road
from 300 feet west of the future Valley Center Drive, east to Oak Avenue. SCE will
underground all their facilities within the project limits of Golden Valley Road in order to
mitigate the interference of said facilities with the future interchange.
The City's General Plan Circulation Element identifies the ultimate roadway network for the
buildout of the General Plan. This network includes Golden Valley Road. This roadway is
also identified in the Bridge & Thoroughfare (B&T) District and represents an important
additional roadway link to improve travel within the City. The construction of Golden
Valley Road calls for the development of an interchange that bridges Soledad Canyon Road,
and will eventually cross the Santa Clara River and connect to the future Newhall Ranch
Road.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds have been budgeted for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 in Account No. 53005301 to
cover the cost for the underground work.
