Santa Clarita to hold open house June 26, 6-8PM at City Hall.

The City of Santa Clarita and Alta Planning & Design will host an Open House on Monday, June 26 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. to discuss ways to make walking, biking and public transportation easier and more enjoyable for Santa Clarita residents. The Open House will be in the Century room at City Hall. Light refreshments will be served and families are welcome to bring their children.

The City of Santa Clarita is preparing a new Non-Motorized Transportation Plan that will provide direction for future investments in bicycle and pedestrian facilities and programs. The main goals of the Plan are to ease the traffic congestion in the City by making it easier and more enjoyable to bicycle and walk as a method of commuting. 

The Plan will also encourage transit use and address equestrian needs in the city. "We want the residents of Santa Clarita to be involved in this Plan," said Debbie Helbig, Project Development Coordinator for the City. "This Plan is designed for them so we want their input, opinions and ideas so that there is a community voice in this Plan." The Plan will include recommendations for additions and improvements to bikeways, trails and pedestrian facilities, land uses that promote walking and cycling, ways to improve access to transit and educational and encouragement programs.
