In November 2009 the City of Santa Clarita began construction on road improvements surrounding the intersection of Sierra Highway and Newhall Avenue (click here for “before”). The work was part of one of the City’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funded projects related to the Highway Infrastructure Program. The project is now comlete.

Landscaped medians were part of the project that took place in a highly visible and busy entrance point to the City
The project was intended to help facilitate better traffic circulation and safe pedestrian access to the intersection. Improvements included: striping to allow more room for eastbound buses to stop without impeding traffic flow, a dual left-turn to southbound Sierra Highway, construction of landscaped median, traffic signal modifications, pedestrian access ramps and installation of pedestrian push buttons.
