VALENCIA TEEN REQUESTS TRAFFIC SIGNAL This article caught my eye today in the paper.  Basically, a Valencia High school student is requesting the installation of a traffic signal on a street in her neighborhood after a six-year-old boy was hit by a car two weeks ago on a Saturday evening. 14-year-old Kelsey George went before… [Continue Reading]

I went to the mall last might at about 10pm to pick up my daughter from Buca De Beppo.  Usually this can be a daunting task since the traffic at that time is crazy and there are alot of teens, and adults for that matter, around that cross the street without looking, etc.   The… [Continue Reading]

I’ll admit that I was very skeptical about this whole 3 lane left turn thing when I first heard of it a few months ago.  Anyone that’s been stuck at the intersection of Bouquet and Valencia between 4pm and 7pm can attest to the painful waiting at the light and back-ups into other lanes, etc. … [Continue Reading]

The cross valley connector is now open from I5 through to Copperhill. I took a drive today and it is quite a bit longer than I expected. It’s the only stretch of road that had no traffic today at 5:30pm in the SCV. I don’t know what was going on, but the signals were all… [Continue Reading]

I just saw this truck driving around town. I was only able to get a picture of the back, but on the side there are advertisements flashing and changing. This can’t be good for traffic. So it kinda looks like this is a moving billboard. Is that violating any city rules? It’s really distracting.

According to the Signal the city is adding a left turn lane at Valencia Blvd. right where it turns to Soledad Cyn and at Bouquet Cyn right where it meets that same intersection. Now bear in mind that there are already 2 left turn lanes there at each street. So that means they will add… [Continue Reading]

Copperhill is now wide open.  After all of my complaining, it was so worth the wait.  Turning onto Copperhill today I was pleasantly surprised to see it had become a 3 lane road.  Driving into the Gateway Center I noticed that it looks like they might be opening Newhall Ranch Rd enough to be able… [Continue Reading]

I was driving by the post office yesterday and coming out of the driveway by the Elephant Bar was the Santa Clarita Hometown Trolley.  I mean I guess it’s cute and fun and all, but frustrating when I am stuck in a traffic jam by the post office because the traffic division of our city hasn’t… [Continue Reading]

I was watching the news and there is some loon on a motorcycle that came in from the Grapevine traveling about 120 miles per hour through Santa Clarita and on to the 14 freeway.  He got off at Sierra Hwy and began traveling north toward Agua Dulce. Imagine going 120 on a motorcycle through some… [Continue Reading]

Well, it finally happened.  Driving west on Copperhill this afternoon, there was an accident that had just happened.  There were three cars and a construction vehicle pulled over to the side.  By the time I saw it, there was an ambulance and a couple fire trucks there.  There was a woman and a girl sitting… [Continue Reading]
