Our traffic issues leave MUCH to be desired.
I remember those days before the city was formed and I’m happy to see how you have made it into a great city. From my bartending days at Joe’s lounge to when I retired at the Backwoods Inn I saw much of the growth and it’s a nice place to visit. I now hang my hat in Tennessee where there are as many traffic signs as Santa Clarita had in 1968. I always enjoy a return visit.
I agree with you Jeremy. Sierra Hwy between Via Princessa and Golden Valley is in virtual gridlock from 6:30 am to 8:30 am Monday thru Friday. There are other parts of town that are just as bad if not worse. The condition of the roads in many of our neighborhoods has also deteriorated to the point where routine maintenance is no longer an option. I live on a street that has been ignored for the past +20 years I’ve lived on it. It now needs to be totally resurfaced at a huge expense rather than spending a fraction of that cost to properly maintain it by applying regular slurry coats and making repairs when necessary.
The statement; “The city of Santa Clarita is one of California’s best cities and it just keeps getting better and better” needs to be examined in greater detail. I have lived in Canyon country since 1984. I have watched development after development get approved, and the traffic grow steadily worse and worse. I read the council candidates responses during the election, and wondered just how more development could possibly alleviate the traffic in our city which has become a daily nightmare. It’s as if they don’t realize that more development means more people and cars, and therefore more traffic. What was a bucolic and idyllic place to live in 1984 has transmogrified into a clone of the San Fernando valley. It’s called unsustainable growth, in case you didn’t know.
Thanks for all your efforts as Mayor.
It’s a shame the city charges around $450 for these banners.
