In an effort to improve aesthetics along Soledad Canyon Road in Canyon Country, the City of Santa Clarita teamed up with Edison and removed a series of ugly, brown utility poles between Camp Plenty and Sierra Highway. Funded by Rule 20A appropriations administered by Edison, the utility undergrounding project provides for the undergrounding of older overhead utilities along Soledad at a cost of $5.5 million.
Edison and the City have been working on underground utilities, thus allowing for the removal of the brown wooden poles along this corridor.
“We’ve been waiting a long time to see those wooden poles come down. The removal of the poles is like the difference between night and day. The Soledad corridor is so much nicer to look at now,” exclaimed Councilmember Bob Kellar who has a business on Soledad near Sand Canyon.
