At the Santa Clarita City Council meeting of October 28, Mayor Pro Tem Frank Ferry proposed that the City develop a comprehensive policy regarding closures, gates, or other physical barriers on public streets.
After a thorough discussion, including input from the public, the City Council, with vote of 3 to 2, with Mayor Kellar and Councilmember McLean dissenting, adopted a policy prohibiting the installation of closures, gates, or other physical barriers on public streets, with the understanding that the policy would not apply to private streets, the status quo, any traffic calming measures including bulb-outs and speed cushions, or private neighborhoods that maintain their own streets. The new policy would also be proactive with speed enforcement.
