Bouquet Canyon Road may extend into Newhall if residents and property owners agree. The City of Santa Clarita is considering changing the name of San Fernando Road, from Magic Mountain Parkway to 11th Street and for all of Railroad Avenue, and would like the public to attend a community meeting on Monday, November 5, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall in the Century Room, located on the first floor of City Hall.
“The community meeting is an opportunity for affected business owners, property owners and residents along this portion of the road to get involved and voice their concerns and comment on the project before anything changes,” commented Mayor Marsha McLean.
The City and Redevelopment Agency are implementing various aspects of the Downtown Newhall Specific Plan, which was adopted in December of 2005, and calls for changing the street name of San Fernando Road and providing continuity with any proposed street name changes.
On September 11, 2007, the City Council voted to change San Fernando Road to Main Street for the roadway between 5th Street and Lyons Avenue. The third and final phase of the street name change is to rename San Fernando Road, from 5th Street south to State Highway 14, to Newhall Avenue. Once completed in 2008, motorists will be able to travel directly into Old Town Newhall on Newhall Avenue.
