The 76.6-mile-long Antelope Valley Line has the third-highest ridership in Metrolink’s system with an estimated average of 9,000 passengers daily. However, the uneven terrain and single-tracking along the line in some areas forces trains to travel at a slower speed which results in an estimated travel time of approximately one hour between Santa Clarita and Union Station.

Environmental rules are meant to protect us all from rapacious development. Not every development gets embroiled in a lawsuit by any means. However, the proposed enormous new “city” proposed for the Santa Clara River Valley west of I-5 will have such a huge impact on life here in the SCV that it needed special scrutiny. For one thing, the new traffic it will create will be a nightmare on local roads no matter how you slice it. And construction will result in some channelization of the Santa Clara River, the LAST free-flowing river in L.A. County. Once the concrete goes into the river bed, that distinction will be gone forever.
Rampant growth will destroy our way of life. It must be controlled; it cannot be stopped entirely. Now, the water crisis complicates matters considerably. It’s a darn shame the planners who OK’d these developments weren’t more foresighted when they approved them all those years ago.
Water is not the only problem. SCV city planners knew damn well that our valleys infastructer was never built to handle this many people. Widen all the bridges you want and we will still overloaded sitting at stop lights at our new version of a mini Los Angeles. If these law suits were strung out as far back as you say then it obvious that the city’s plan when becoming the SCV was this all along. Disheartening to know that they have never cared about the opinions of the residents. Absolutely agree with you when it comes to this train, there are things we want and things we need and the government does not have the right to provide wants they have the duty to provide needs.
I say we dam up the Delta.
There is no good reason we cannot take Delta Smelt and raise them is a fish hatchery, just like the one in the 126 and “ensure their survival”. That goes for every little shrimp and bug the environmentalists’ place value on (seemingly above human life itself).
It will be cheaper that desalinization plants methinks.
What I don’t understand is why all the planting is still going on in the median strips. If it is being sustained by re-cycled water, that means someone has to USE the water for it to be re-cycled. Guess they’re planning on all that new home construction to use water so it can be
re-cycled? Vicious circle. And there are a few of those council members who have been in office
more than those 10 years.
The river does have a concrete bank from the 14 to Camp Plenty Rd. already. Have we lost the claim of free flowing river?
I believe NL&F illegally channeled Boquet Creek behind Best Buy and got away with it because the county was not paying attention until it was too late.
