A local personal injury law firm is drawing attention to Santa Clarita's recent $1.2 million investment in intersection safety upgrades, funded through federal dollars secured by Representative George Whitesides. The funding, announced in May 2026 alongside Mayor Laurene Weste, targets three high-volume intersections: Valencia Boulevard and Magic Mountain Parkway, McBean Parkway and Newhall Ranch Road, and Golden Valley Road and Centre Pointe Parkway.
The need for such improvements is underscored by city data showing that 73% of drivers were at fault in pedestrian collisions in 2024, while bicycle collisions rose 14% and pedestrian- and bicycle-related incidents increased 18% overall. Barry P. Goldberg, founding attorney of the firm, emphasized that these intersections are where the most serious injuries occur, and that infrastructure improvements can help prevent life-altering accidents.
The investment will modernize traffic flow and pedestrian safety measures, addressing a persistent danger on Santa Clarita's busiest roads. The firm, which has served the Santa Clarita Valley for decades, offers free consultations to those injured in accidents and handles cases on a contingency basis.
