6 All services are important and need to continue to be funded. Our homeless population is starting to get more and more. We need resources for them, so they aren't sleeping outside of the CVS. I also wonder how the homeless population is in Saugus and Valencia. It seems like Canyon Country and Newhall are taking the brunt of it.

12 Right now, the libraries and senior programs at the Community Centersare overflowing with the groups who assist with adults with disabilities.

1 We are missing the arts. 11/12/2025 5:06 PM
2 Focus on the foundation and then the extra services. The foundations of Santa Clarita are crumbling. Too many people, too much traffic, school districts are falling apart. The infrastructure is falling apart. Stop building houses. Parents not parenting their children. It's a mess. Where is actual leadership? Not people with titles eager to ingratiate themselves, but actual leadership. People looking out for the good of Santa Clarita. I've been here 44 years and it's never been so bad.
11/11/2025 8:26 AM
3 It seems we are too soft on homelessness. Nearby Carlsbad and Oceanside have very little homelessness (visible anyways). Maybe unpopular opinion but do whatever they are doing. 11/10/2025 2:58 PM
4 That any funds that are allocated to any project are managed well, funds are accounted for, and regular and independent financial audits are conducted. 11/8/2025 11:40 AM
5 :) 11/7/2025 9:49 PM
6 You need to advertise that these funds are available, and how to get them. 11/7/2025 6:02 PM 7 Affordable Housing is important but we should do more to support couples to invest instead of more low income rentals that are based on an individual being below a threshold where the more dependents the more they qualify (this promotes poverty). We need more programs that give incentives to build wealth and have pride in ownership and unity with a domestic partner who shares in the responsibility. The more people partner less supply is needed than housing people individually. Please keep out transitional housing and homeless shelters, the more you cater to this population in SCV the more homeless people will migrate here. It's all too common in downtown LA and has run down neighborhoods. I am speaking from experience having the misfortune of ending up in that situation myself (I don't want that lifestyle to spread to my beautiful hometown of Santa Clarita)

9 Since I am the sole provider whose antibodies were used by pfizer, Moderna, biontech, and jansenns to develop the covid 19 vaccine and boosters that save so many lives world wide and put an end to the pandemic after on October 8, 2020 I demanded nurses at Henry mayo to draw extra vials of my blood and to rush those vials to the pharma companies so they could develop the covid 19 vaccine all ready ( at that point in time they were only at the drug remdemivir in their quest to create the vaccine , they had yet to do such)...I believe that I Chad mataisz who is a life long resident of Santa clarita deserves proper public recognition and also compensation from the pharmaceutical companies involved. Thank you. 11/5/2025 3:10 PM
10 Please introduce programs for residents who have been long time renters in SCV the opportunity to be eligible for a home ownership program in SCV. 11/4/2025 3:04 PM
11 Less stringent requirements to reserve baseball fields. 10/28/2025 5:39 PM 12 We really appreciate everything The city of Santa Clarita does. I do wish they would stop building homes too many new homes and not enough roads. 10/28/2025 4:21 PM
13 Housing for the homeless. No homeless should be on our streets. 10/27/2025 1:01 PM 14 more youth basketball teams 10/27/2025 12:05 PM
15 More water parks, activities for low-income family for music for sports 10/24/2025 2:45 PM 16 Need another community centers for for all ages to use and more centers for youth. 10/24/2025 9:08 AM 17 More affordable activities to do in this town for teens. How many times can they go to MB2 and Magic Mountain??? Going bowling is over $80 for less than 2 hours play time, it is over $60 or $70 to go to a movie. Not everyone in this town has that kind of money. I would say that 10/23/2025 1:23 PM

95% of all the 40 parks in this town are sports based. My child likes her sports but not every park needs to have a ball field and basketball hoops. And pretty much all the community centers are sports based too!! You keep allowing more homes to be built but not all families are going to want to play sports, and you can only go to swing and go down a slide so many times. I have to go to the valley or the South Bay to keep my daughter and myself entertained. 18 more affordable year around sports opportunities for the youth to keep them out of trouble. more affordable teen groups for kids with mental health issues and disorders. I remember going to a once a week free group where I was provided food and we would just talk about stuff how our weeks went, every week was a subject where we couldnt talk to parents about but to other teens about and it was great.
10/23/2025 1:12 PM
19 Your Parks And Recs registration needs to be improved. Using a system that crashes and choosing a time and date that is the same for multiple very popular sports and activities. Just set everyone up for failure, including those less fortunate, with limited access to computers and whose first language is not English. As many times as you have chosen a new company or a new program to use, no one has figured out the simplicity of just spacing out each programs registration for different dates and times to alleviate the system overload that happens every time.
10/23/2025 12:40 PM
20 Stop building new homes!! This city traffic is already horrible! Stop wasting money on things that don’t need improvement! Add more libraries, senior and youth centers. Help our veterans! And why do things have to benefit primarily low-and moderate-income residents, the city should equally benefit all its residents!! Add more open spaces with benches and gathering areas, maybe a town plaza for the community to gather in and connect 10/23/2025 12:09 PM
21 More year-round youth sports. 10/23/2025 12:01 PM
22 Refacing old or damaged store fronts would enhance the community also. What comes to mind is the west/north corner of Soledad Canyon and Sand Canyon…such an eye sore. 10/23/2025 11:45 AM
23 Traffic lights dont seem to synchronize especially during school area, and delays long. Plus to many homes are being constructed
10/23/2025 11:43 AM
24 Focus on the homeowners. The more money you throw at homeless, the more they’re going to flock to the area. Get rid of them and prioritize the families who pay to be here and not suckle at the government’s teet.
10/19/2025 3:39 AM
25 More dog parks, water play areas, and parks that have play structures and basketball courts. I noticed a lot of bus stops don’t have shade. Every bus stop should have a canopy or something for people to stand under when it’s extremely hot. That might encourage more bus transportation.
10/18/2025 9:29 AM
26 It’s not that the issues raised on this survey are not important but I am most concerned with the amount of dumping and trash along the SR-14 and Sierra Hwy. Streets in Newhall have pots and holes. It looks terrible and it’s dangerous. Please focus on the beautification of our city. SR-14 and Sierra Hwy is a direct reflection on the city of Santa Clarita. 10/18/2025 7:23 AM
27 I think it’s really important that the unhoused and low income communities get the support and infrastructure they need. Another big help for the city would be starting after school programs or creating safe spaces for youth so they are not getting in trouble because they are bored. 10/17/2025 3:20 PM
28 Santa Clarita has a thriving cycling community, hundreds of people and their families use the existing bike infastructure for enrichment and entertainment. Any improvements to these bike paths, or extra accessibility to them will be a huge welcome. Bike lanes on streets would also be an excellent safety idea.

29 Please add a splash pad to one of the public parks! 10/17/2025 1:23 PM 30 The city should invest in splash pads for very young children (not wading pools), whether that's at parks or in public areas near shopping centers. Bridgeport Park, Todd Longshore Park, Summit Park, Downtown Newhall would all be good options. Here are a couple examples: 1. https://www.sioux-city.org/government/departments-g-p/parks-recreation/splash-pads 2. https://www.carsonnow.org/06/06/2019/mcfadden-plaza-splash-pad-now-and-running-cool- during-hot-weather

32 CDBG grants are so restrictive and the administrative burden and requirements on reporting end up costing more to manage than the amounts that are distributed to organizations who receive the funding.

33 Newhall park play area is in urgently needed of upgrade, since it was built nothing has been done on it. It is very old and out dated. This park is very important to the Newhall community. I have seen new parks built some old completely redone, however this park has been forgotten.
I feel this park and this community have been left behind by the Santa Clarita Valley, proof me wrong.

41 An everyday issue is the sheer magnitude of terrible drivers we have living in this area.
Constantly seeing drivers running red lights, speeding, and with little regard for pedestrians. It is truly like we're living in Mad Max: Fury Road. I do not necessarily support a larger police presence really anywhere, but a brainstorm session needs to be had about what can be done to remedy this issue a bit. Other than that, we need to put an emphasis on compensation for the jewels of our city: the public libraries. Public libraries offer countless resources to the community and there needs to be an emphasis on promoting its services and singing its praises. Also it's time to have a revote on compensating city workers in general for being bilingual. In this day and age, and especially being in Southern California, you SHOULD know how to speak Spanish. Our bilingual workers are able to help a larger amount of patrons and community members and this is a SKILL that should not be ignored. LA County offers this level of compensation to its library workers and seems like this city has little regard for the diversity, assistance, and communication this skillset can bring. 9/24/2025 1:07 PM

44 All of these programs are invaluable assets to the community. It's important to maintain effective services in all areas, due to the intersectionality of issues like unaffordable housing, homelessness, and community programs.

45 Financial incentives for homeowners for energy efficiency due to rising energy prices 9/24/2025 7:25 AM 46 I know 1.4 million is not enough for a hospital, but the community needs another hospital. 9/23/2025 5:23 PM 47 Consider trying out Metro's budget survey on when they ask residents to allocate budget to these different priorities. It's a fun way to collect the same data and helps people understand that there are tradeoffs with the budget.

52 Santa Clarita has two or three indoor gyms, we have a sports complex were volleyball can not be played at a normal level due to low ceilings. We are one of the richest cities and we need our infrastructure upgraded.

53 If you’re going to use the block grant for youth sports, please make them more affordable 9/22/2025 11:32 AM 54 Our area is already overpopulated and understaffed. We need a new hospital, more services and LESS new home developments. We also need to prioritize help for the homeless that are SLEEPING on our streets. We pay ENTIRELY too much to have to deal with this. Crime is up.
Homeless is up. Traffic is up. And what does the city do, "LET'S BUILD MORE HOMES". This is not the answer. DO BETTER.

55 Help with the increasing number of car accidents. 9/22/2025 11:17 AM 56 Crime & gang prevention programs for youth need to be a priority. Santa Clarita also needs more residential treatment centers and programs for those experiencing drug addiction. 9/22/2025 8:45 AM

1 Mejorar el parque de Newhall, William S. Hart y Canyon Country para que tengan el mismo nivel de intraestructura que los parques nuevos de Santa Clarita con opciones en las que muchas ninos y personas puedan utilizar como soccer rapido, algun tipo de escenario para grupos de baile como folklorico, danza, o bandas de escuelas puedan ensayar o presentarse.
Y alrededor de parques hacer siempre un espacio para que puedan andar en bici, correr, caminar o patinar.

3 Un supermercado en Newhall nos hace falta. La communidad enfrento un cambio dificil cuando nos quitaron Las Tres Sierras y ahora lo an remplacado con una vivienda de cinco pisos Que Va alejar aun mas la communidad latina. La renta en newhall ya esta muy alto y el sueldo minimo no Alcanza para seguir viviendo aqui. Mucha gente latina ya se mudo a Lancaster , Palmdale, o San Fernando por esta misma razon . El centro de Main Street ya no lo reconozco y los negocios Latinos han cerado sus puertas por Los precios altos de rentar Los locales en Main Street. La communidad NO neccessitan mas bares de alcohol porque ya existen demasiados en Main Street
