On Tuesday, Santa Clarita City Council is scheduled to address two major construction projects in Canyon Country and Newhall, MetroWalk and the Sierra West assisted living facility, respectively.
The Santa Clarita City Council is slated to meet Tuesday at six p.m., with a planned hearing on the potential development of two major projects, recommended for passage by the Santa Clarita Planning Commission, known as MetroWalk and Sierra West.
City documents describe the plan for MetroWalk as a “proposal for the establishment of the MetroWalk Specific Plan, consisting of a 498-unit multi-family development including 179 market-rate apartments, 119 market-rate senior apartments, 50 affordable senior apartments including one manager unit, 150 townhome units, and a community park.”
The public plan for MetroWalk states that the project site would be located generally north and west of the Metrolink tracks and east of Lost Canyon Road in Canyon Country.
“A multi-use path would link the Project Site with the future Metrolink Vista Canyon Station to the east and the Vista Canyon Specific Plan Project to the north while connecting various private amenities throughout the Project Site, including park nodes, open space, a central clubhouse, and a playground,” the plan reads.
Construction is planned for the Sierra West assisted living center on an eight-acre site owned by the city and located on the northeast corner of Soledad Canyon Road and Sierra Highway in Canyon Country.
The plan for Sierra West is described as “the construction of an 83-unit, 61,736 square-foot independent and assisted living facility with memory care units.”
There are three reported project phases for Sierra West, with the first two phases having already begun construction.
The City Council meeting, during which the two projects are expected to be reviewed in the public hearing section, is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

You thinking about anymore NEW construction we DON’T NEED!! We don’t have enough water or roads to accommodate all the construction for living spaces and cars that will come with these projects! How’s this going to go over when you decide to turn off the electric!!! This community is over crowded as it is!!!
The 14 freeway has been worse than the famous 405 for the last few years in just how bad it is congested every day. So many commuters from the Antelope valley and beyond still find the need to drive south into LA for work.
For those of us stuck in the middle (Canyon Country) we have had our commute to the valley triple in time over the last few years.
They made a big deal about repaving it a couple years ago but that does nothing to improve the flow, or lack there of, traffic.
They want to build and build and build again without addressing this issue.
As far as building in the middle of the riverbed nature will take care of that in the next 20 year flood. It won’t be good for those living there but might make driving to work a little easier for the rest of us.
