A stretch of Castaic Road could get a makeover that includes the installation of curbs and gutters and the placement of electric lines underground if the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is the five member governing board of Los Angeles County, California. Members of the board of supervisors are elected by district, the current members as of April 2006 are:
  • District 1: Gloria Molina, Democrat

The county would create a Utility District to make the improvements roughly from Ridge Route The Ridge Route, officially the Castaic-Tejon Route,[2] is a narrow two-lane highway in the northern Greater Los Angeles Area of the U.S. state of California.  Road to Lake Hughes Road Hughes Road is an arterial road in South Mumbai linking Opera House with Kemps Corner.

Truck drivers tend to double- and triple-park in the dirt area beside the road and cannot be cited, Darcy said. The installation of curbs and gutters will change that, she said.

``Trucks know they can stay there and not get a ticket, no matter how long they stay there,'' Darcy said. ``They can park two or three deep. Once the curbs and gutters are in, they can get tickets.''

The street improvements also will allow for street cleaning. And the underground utilities will improve the appearance of the area, Darcy said.

``They like underground utilities in commercial areas. It takes out the clutter,'' Darcy said. ``It really cleans up the neighborhood.''

Curbs and gutters have not been installed along that stretch of Castaic Road because development occurred in small projects, and the builders could not be required to put in the improvements, Darcy said. The developers did, however, pay a fee that has been accumulating in a fund.

Now, Giant Truck Stop is planning to build on Castaic Road and will be required to fund most of the project, Darcy said. Money from the fund would make up the remainder, she said.

``They built in pieces out there,'' Darcy said. ``We didn't have the authority to make the developers put in curbs and gutters. Now, with Giant Truck Stop, they have to.''
