BACKGROUND
On December 22, 2005 the Downtown Newhall Specific Plan (The Plan) was adopted by the City
Council. The Plan outlined a carefully thought out development scheme and Code for the
revitalization of Old Town Newhall. The Plan included a draft implementation schedule and one
of the first items identified to change the character of Downtown Newhall was the
reconfiguration of traffic flow through the area. This project accomplishes that goal while setting
the stage for the next major phases of implementation. When completed traffic through
Downtown Newhall will be substantially calmer, additional parking spaces will be available for
merchants doing business on (the portion of San Fernando Road that will become) "Main Street,"
and events in Newhall requiring street closures will be much easier to manage.
