They’re going to have to do something about the streets and the 5 Fwy is going to get even more horrendous than it is the fact is SVC just doesn’t have enough roads to keep traffic flow through our community even with the Cross connector from the 5 fwy to the 14 Fwy Newhall Ranch Rd/Golden Valley traffic gets built up and the planned roads to help just don’t come fast enough to make a difference. I think that the actual building there won’t be a problem if the City and fixe the existing problems that impact us all.
They need whole new freeway systems.
I thought the City wanted a “ring around the valley” of mountains. Is this “outside” this ring?
Just what SCV needs … more damn people !
Tax revenue. That’s all this is about.
Sigh. So much for the wild beauty of the SCV.
I dislike this!!!
Considering the amount of projected job growth in SCV why should this come as a surprise?
Job growth..please..It has always been more the rule than the exception in SCV that “those who work here don’t get paid enough to live here, and those who live here have to commute to L.A. in order to afford to live here”. So what good will these so called ‘new jobs’ really bring?
Not too sure I agree with the early portrait of SCV before Valencia. I could drive to Hart High in 6 minutes from the corner of Bouquet Cyn. and Seco. We had a Howard and Phil s in Saugus for clothes and the Hubbards in Newhall for everything else. There were also shoes stores and a mens clothing store in down town Newhall. I could also take the back road from 126 (Magic Mtn. PKWY) to Newhall ave. to Lyons. If there was traffic. We also didn’t have these stupid strip malls.
I’ve only lived in SCV for 6 years and if it wasn’t such a convenient commute for my husband, I’d leave tomorrow. The traffic is already terrible in this town. People are too much in a hurry, rude, tailgating, not following traffic laws, accidents all over the place…it’s horrible. And I’ve lived in places like Houston and thought that was bad until we moved here. This valley is overcrowded, the schools are all overcrowded, crime is on the rise…I can’t imagine this many more people added to this area. I’m just hoping that since it took 20 years to get approval that it takes another 20 years before all these new homes and shopping centers actually get built. Good planning or not, this town doesn’t need more people.
Don’t know about a short 6-year time span, but actually crime is a LOT lower than it was 20 years ago or 30 years ago. And even 20-30 years ago we were significantly lower than the L.A. County average.
And they will all be commuting elsewhere for work most likely
I have only been in the SCV for nine years. I have seen the traffic change in that short amount of time. I liked it nine years ago, more than now. I like the open spaces and the hills and mountains. Due to the drought conditions, I am against building more homes, at this time. But I understand progress, too. Good article.
Expand expand expand
Great they can add 20 more lights with more left turn arrows and it will take another 20 mins to get across town oh yea :/
I have stated that for years no one wants to believe it.
How much interest does bob Kellar have in this. Scv could have bought that land and kept it.
We can’t sell the over priced garbage in Scv now let alone, create more. Can’t fill our retail, or any of our huge industrial center. They are at 56% the city will not tell you that.
Then build bones rather than mini malls it’s the high rents that put industry from filling those stores not the fact that there’s to many of them. Do t forget that Disney is building studios on the other end of SVC and those jobs cod be filled by ppl who will buy homes and shop in SCV adding to tax revenue of SVC and there is the fact that Six Flags MM could possibly provide more year round opportunities for out youth in the jobs area. There’s a lot happening around SCV as long as traffic flows and they keep open areas then it’s ok.
And it would help that dead area of restaurants over on the old road I know so many owners who have closed there because they can’t make the business work for lack of clients this area needs help
Can’t wait to move outta here
I am really looking forward to the new development Marlee Lauffer :)
Hasn’t this been on going for 20 years or so? Kinda late to the dance to complain……
Go Kings Go!!!! ;)
^ awesome
The environmentalists have only lost a small battle. If they’ve made this a serious cause du jour, they’re not going to give up so easily when they could seek remedy in appellate court, then state Supreme Court, all the way to SCOTUS. They could get the EPA in intervene as well. I wouldn’t get too excited yet.
And I am sure the developers will fill this up with a ton of three-story apartment buildings, none with elevators, and cram as many rent payers in there as possible. Affordable housing it will NOT be, I will bet money on that. Can’t we just have a little more open space around us? I have lived here since 1996, before Stevenson Ranch was developed, and have seen the changes that go with too many apartments and high density housing, and it is not pretty. The traffic is horrible, and of course, more progress means more crime. Just because we plant a few trees, that doesn’t mean we are mitigating overpopulation for what our water and infrastructure can bear. We can’t even flush our toilets now.
Excuse me , but Darryl manzer….you haven’t ived here in umm 20 years!!! How are you so knowledgeable???
You don’t live here!!!!! You haven’t since.25.. 30 years ago!!! You lived in Virginia, Kentucky…???
??? If Darryl Manzer has not lived here in 30 years, I wonder who the Darryl Manzer I have been having lunch with and going to Heritage Junction Newhall functions with is? It is the same Darryl Manzer who has been living in our little slice of heaven for two and one-half years now. He lives here, he knows what goes on here, and he, unlike some, has a lot of brains and acumen under all that hair on his head.

I Hate this plan..Money talk’s and Bull-s____ walks comes to mind.
The traffic flows at rush hour? Yeah, right! It doesn’t take much to bring the traffic in the Newhall Pass to a crashing stop on the freeway, the Old Road, Balboa and Foothill. We could surely use a few more cars in the mix!
