The City of Santa Clarita has launched a new website, Billboards.Santa-Clarita.com, to provide the community with information on a proposal from Metro to remove all billboards in the Metro (railroad) right-of-way, within the Soledad Canyon Road and Railroad Avenue corridors.
Metro approached the City with a proposal to remove 118 billboards on 62 structures within the center of Santa Clarita to improve the look of the area. In exchange, three, double-sided, digital billboards would be placed along I-5 and SR 14.
The website has an FAQ section, maps and photos and was created with the goal of getting feedback from residents and businesses.
