The City of Santa Clarita celebrated the completion of the Lyons Avenue / Interstate 5 beautification project today with a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted at the Interstate 5 northbound on-ramp on Lyons Avenue.
The beautification project installed approximately three acres of landscape enhancements along the Lyons Avenue and Interstate 5 corridor, including: decorative fencing, hardscape and landscape improvements, and water efficient irrigation.
“The City is excited to celebrate the completion of its portion to one of the busiest gateways into both the City of Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County,” commented Mayor Frank Ferry. “By investing in quality landscape projects within our public rights-of-ways, the City is helping maintain higher property values, enhance efforts to attract new businesses to our community and supporting water conservation.”
Using a variety of grasses, oak trees and shrubs consistent with the oak tree savanna look traveling through the Newhall Pass area, the core of the planting will remain green year long, while other aspects of the landscaping will change with the seasons.
The landscape design along Lyons Avenue and Interstate 5 is certified and compliant with Assembly Bill 1881, the state law regarding water efficiency. The City is committed to taking aggressive steps to be a leader in the industry by implementing new irrigation technology to reduce the community’s water consumption while keeping areas beautifully landscaped. Since 2009, the City’s award-winning Landscape Maintenance District efforts have reduced its annual water usage by nearly 200 million gallons.
The Lyons Avenue / Interstate 5 corridor is one of the busiest gateways into both the City of Santa Clarita and unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County. As these planned improvements benefit the Santa Clarita Valley, the City is excited to partner on improving this corridor with Los Angeles County and the West Ranch Town Council.
