►2020 UPDATES

EV CHARGING STATION AT SANTA CLARITA METROLINK STATION
The City of Santa Clarita is committed to creating and promoting new eco-friendly initiatives for community
members to enjoy. In 2018, the City partnered with the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review
Committee to install an electric vehicle charging station at the Santa Clarita Metrolink Station on Soledad
Canyon Road. Residents can use the EVConnect application to pay to charge their cars in 30-minute increments.
This charging station furthers the City's efforts to provide residents with green transportation options, and this
project supports the Santa Clarita 2020 theme of Sustaining Public Infrastructure.

PACE BIKE SHARE PROGRAM
The City recently partnered with Zagster to bring the Pace Bil<e Share Program to Santa
Clarita. The current pilot program consists of 50 bikes and 12 bike stations located
throughout the City, with hopes to add more in the future. The user-friendly Pace app allows
residents and visitors to rent bikes and explore the miles of paved trails in Santa Clarita. The
bike share program is aimed at providing residents with a new way to explore the City, while
enhancing tourism efforts. Bikes can be rented for $1 for each half-hour of use. This project
supports the Santa Clarita 2020 theme of Building and Creating Community.

NEWHALL RANCH ROAD BRIDGE WIDENING
Drivers on Newhall Ranch Road between Dickason Drive and McBean Parkway have no doubt noticed improvements in traffic
flow and safety for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. An additional lane for vehicle traffic was added in each direction, while
pedestrians crossing the bridge now have a protected walkway. Users of the San Francisquito Creek Trail also have a new trail
connection under the bridge, allowing them to remain on the off-street trail instead of needing to cross the street at a busy
intersection. This project supports the Santa Clarita 2020 theme of Sustaining Public Infrastructure.

SIERRA HIGHWAY PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
Commuters and pedestrians in Canyon Country know the intersection of Sierra
Highway and Golden Valley Road is busy, particularly during rush hour. To increase
the safety of pedestrians and allow simpler connections for residents on Golden
Valley Road and students walking to and from Golden Valley High School, the City
of Santa Clarita partnered with Caltrans to make improvements to the intersection.
This includes the installation of the new pedestrian bridge over Sierra Highway, the
first such bridge in this area of the City. This project supports the
Santa Clarita 2020 theme of Sustaining Public Infrastructure.

ARCHERY RANGE
The City of Santa Clarita has partnered with local nonprofit group SCV Archery to bring a new
archery range to the Santa Clarita Valley! The range opened in February 2019 and is located
in Haskell Canyon Open Space. The archery range joins a variety of other outdoor spaces
for residents to use, and will offer one-on-one coaching and group events. Classes will also
be available in the Fall 2019 edition of the Seasons magazine. The City hopes to encourage
interest in this unique sport and give community members the chance to get outdoors and try
something new! For more information, visit scvarchery.com.
