Greetings!
Here it is, halfway through the year already. Things have been very busy at City Hall and I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some of our recent activities and give you a preview of what’s coming up.
Earlier this spring, we celebrated the grand opening of the next phase of the Cross Valley Connector Road, fondly called, The Gap Closure. This 1.6 mile stretch of roadway provides direct access to I-5/126 via Copperhill and Rye Canyon Road, opening up an important link for those who live and work in and around that area. The last phase of the Cross Valley Connector is currently in the environmental phase and is expected to be under construction soon.
Also this spring, we celebrated the grand opening of temporary Fire Station 132 at Sand Canyon and Stetson Ranch. This new fire station will provide fire services for the new Stetson Ranch project and immediate vicinity. Built by the City of Santa Clarita, the project is a partnership with L.A. County Fire Department and Los Angeles County.
Right now, we’re getting ready for the 4th of July festivities as well as our popular, free Summer Concert series. You may find out about all of the 4th of July activities via the City’s website at www.santa-clarita.com. You won’t want to miss the free 4th of July fireworks show at the Valencia Towne Center, sponsored by the City. The free summer concert series begins in July and is held every Saturday evening at 7 p.m. at Central Park. For a complete schedule, log onto our website.
Thank you for your interest in the City of Santa Clarita. It is always a pleasure to hear from you at kpulskamp@santa-clarita.com .
Best regards,
Ken Pulskamp
