BACKGROUND
The 2005-06 Community Median Landscape - San Fernando Road project will provide
construction of a raised landscape median from Oak Ridge Drive to Drayton Street. The median
will be constructed with decorative stamped concrete. The stamped concrete design integrates
into the Landscape Maintenance District's standards, and will have the same pattern and color as
the segment of Newhall Ranch Road from Copper Hill Drive to Interstate 5. The median and
landscaping will provide traffic flow improvements and enhance the aesthetics of this heavily
traveled corridor.
A future construction effort to continue the beautification of the corridor from Drayton Street to
the Valencia Boulevard/Soledad Canyon Road intersection will be submitted for funding
consideration at a future date.
