They need a sidewalk and more lighting on Orchard!! I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often considering you have to walk in the street.
The city should be more concerned with pedestrian safety then making the city pretty with trees, decorative medians and crap like that.
I so agree…so sad.
Exactly!!!
Totally agree… Especially with all the schools in the area, sidewalks are needed
Not to take away from this tragedy at hand, but the master plan apparently did not have the sidewalks?
That is why there are Paseos and pedestrian overpasses. That way a pedestrian never has to jay walk or be in the path of a car while they are on foot
It is extremely dark on orchard at that end especially. And it gets darker the more into winter we get .
The Paseos are not as well lit as they could be either. And there are no sheriff bike patrols on them.
So they are not appealing at night when you are alone
They either need better lighting or to get busy on a sidewalk over there. All that money on cameras for the intersections could have been used to light this area better, install security cameras in the Paseos . This is the second one in almost exactly a year. 9/27/14 a 20 year old woman jogging was struck on orchard too.
A lot of times people don’t even know where the entrance is to the Paseos because they are not marked at all. More people would use them if they were easier to find and had a lit map near the entrances of where you can go on the pathway.
I nice feature that is under used .
The paseos are great. I would never walk them after dark, this is why side walks are needed on the main road of orchard village.
Too many of these hit and run accidents happening lately. May she Rest In Peace

This city has the worst traffic control. We have a beautiful city that’s for sure, but we can learn one thing from a broken down city like LA, that is traffic control. You can’t make left hand turns in most places. This eliminates many businesses (for me at least) because it’s a pain to get in and out.
There are so many accidents up here too. When there’s an accident, the Sheriff’s Dept doesn’t have the staffing to control traffic and they should be out fighting crime (especially in Canyon Country). Get some traffic control officers. The traffic management system is horrible. Just drive down Soledad and Sierra during rush hour. Have a better system to get people in and out of town.
Lastly, don’t vote for Hilary or any one from that party.
Your right! Sierra and Soledad is bad. Going down Sierra in the AM and make a right onto Soledad takes forever
BS on the cc comment. Check your facts. Cc does not include the unincorporated areas. I’m frankly tired of this old vitriol.
Another CC comment figures
I live in cc. That’s where the crime is occurring (incorporated and unincorporated).
Crime is not only just in CC, it’s all over SCV.
Mainly in CC
The main point is to free up the Sheriff’s Dept and get a traffic control department. It’s non-existent.
We need pedestrian bridges in canyon country
Hugs to her family. I hope they catch the driver.
Michelle Hein Wimett yes something and we can go somewhere Bc I was thinking to go to the court or police station and request something. Lower speed limit, something.
Great graphic design 9/10 I’d hire that guy
If you want the city to put sidewalks along Orchard Village then Orchard Village will lose either the bike lane, putting bicyclists in the street or on the sidewalk, or one of the traffic lanes. Do you want that?
Valencia’s master plan apparently did not take into account that pedestrians might be walking after dark and the pedestrians might not be comfortable walking on the paseos — especially women alone.
And the fact remains that some unknown driver hit a pedestrian and then fled the scene. Coward. If you’re going to operate a vehicle, you take responsibility for the result of your actions. And if you hit, hurt, or kill someone, it is your responsibility to summon assistance and stay to face the consequences.
Sad to hear about another DUI crash taking another life. But the real problem is drivers out there are TALKING/TEXTING on their phones and killing people. The sheriff should be enforcing that law right now, more than ever. If you had drivers paying attention to the road, they would see the pedestrians and cyclist out there and avoid hitting them. This problem didn’t really exist until cell phones came into the picture. Lowering the speed limit is ridiculous, that won’t stop people from driving fast. Never has and never will.
Debbie was a homeless resident from Santa Clarita. I hope her friends are aware that she died. I can’t understand why the SCV is becoming such a bad place to live now? All I ever do is Smh.
Can we are slowwwww down and get off your stupid phones…crap!!!!!!!
