Editor’s note: While our July 3 call for comments about an urban center in the Santa Clarita Valley was not directed at the now-defunct The Avenue at Santa Clarita planned development, several readers responded with specific feedback on that proposal. Here is one of them.

I live near the proposed urban center project “The Avenues.” Terrible idea!

All we need is some big development at the bottom of the Newhall Pass. The traffic is already a nightmare, and there is no scenario that will ever be proposed short of blasting a tunnel through the mountains that will alleviate this problem.

Remember “Tree City,” having a green corridor surrounding our beautiful city? What happened to that? How about green soccer fields, and a park?

Try to make our city better, not ruin it with dense over-developement, City Council.
