A third lane eastbound and westbound was added to increase capacity on Via Princessa between
Sierra Highway and Whites Canyon Road.
A fourth eastbound lane was added to Copper Hill Drive between Newhall Ranch Road and Alta
Vista Drive.
A'PROVED
The modification added a second westbound left -turn lane at the intersection of Valencia.
Boulevard and Rockwell Canyon Road.

Metrolink Station helping northbound traffic to flow smoothly without disruption from existing
bus stops.

reduced and a bicycle lane was added in each direction enhancing safety by providing a buffer
zone between the pedestrian right-of-way and travel lanes. This improvement also enhanced
