The Valencia Boulevard Median Refurbishment Project began construction on Monday, June 20, 2016 and will continue until November 2016.

The project will refurbish a total of 12 medians on Valencia Boulevard between Tourney Road and Magic Mountain Parkway. The construction will include replacing existing grass with drought-tolerant plants, and the installation of more durable and efficient irrigation systems.

Traffic circulation and pedestrian safety improvement will also be addressed along Valencia Boulevard. The project will truncate the median nose at McBean Parkway, extend the eastbound left-turn pocket on Citrus Drive, modify the median at the eastbound left-turn pocket at Magic Mountain Parkway to eliminate the ponding of water, and create a dedicated right-turn pocket at Magic Mountain Parkway.

Residents who regularly commute along Valencia Boulevard are encouraged to pay attention to construction signs, and anticipate some lane closures and traffic delays. Drivers should travel slowly and cautiously during construction until improvements are completed.

Construction is anticipated to be complete by the end of November 2016. The project is part of the Santa Clarita 2020 plan.

For more information about the Valencia Boulevard Median Refurbishment Project, contact Project Manager James Tong at (661) 255-4366 or jtong@santa-clarita.com.

Tell them to fix the sprinklers towards the top of Golden Valley! Going towards Plum Canyon. There’s always a lot of water on the street late at night

My husband and I were on Via Princessa between Whites Canyon and Sierra Highway Monday night (early Tuesday morning) around 1:30AM and there was water running out of the medians actually causing the water to splash when the cars drove thru it. Same thing earlier on McBean coming out of the mall. What a waste, something needs to be done to stop it. Perhaps a call to the major TV stations???

  It might be more effective to call City Hall. It’s unlikely the major TV stations will know how to turn off the water.
