MANAGEMENT / GENERAL

(NEW) TWO CRUCIAL BILLS TO ADDRESS PCH SAFETY PASS STATE SENATE

The California State Senate passed SB 1297 and SB 1509 this week, two crucial tools advancing the effort to reduce traffic collisions, injuries and fatalities on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in the City of Malibu. SB 1297 passed the Senate 36-3 on May 20 and will next be considered by the Assembly’s Transportation Committee. SB 1509 passed the Senate 27-1 on May 22 and will next move through the Assembly’s Committees.

SB 1297, introduced by Senator Ben Allen, expands the state’s existing automated speed camera pilot program to include the City of Malibu, where dangerous conditions on PCH has been a top community concern for decades.Click here for more details on AB 1297. AB 1509, the “NOT in California Act,” introduced by Senator Henry Stern, a Malibu native, would make convictions of driving 26 MPH or greater over the posted speed limit, a two-point violation against a person’s driver's license.Click here for more information about SB 1509.

EFFORTS TO IMPROVE PCH SAFETY

The City of Malibu is committed to doing everything possible to improve safety on our 21 miles of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), which has long been a top priority for the community. See the past and current measures to improve PCH safetyon the dedicated webpage.For decades, PCH safety has been a top priority for Malibu. The City Council declared a local state of emergency to address the increasingly dangerous conditions on the highway, culminating in the tragic deaths of four Pepperdine University students struck by a speeding driver while walking along PCH in October 2023. Since 2010, 61 people have lost their lives on PCH.

(NEW) JOIN THE PCH SAFETY EFFORT - COME TO CITY HALL, SIGN THE PLEDGE WALL, PICK UP A LAWN SIGN FOR YOUR PROPERTY AND A POSTER FOR YOUR BUSINESS

You can join the effort to help make PCH in Malibu safer for residents, visitors, commuters, pedestrians and cyclists. The California State Transportation Administration (CalSTA) and California Office of Traffic Safety (Cal OTS) launched a driver education campaign to support Malibu's fight to address PCH safety. The CalSTA and Cal OTS campaign includes 31 billboards placed along freeways outside Malibu, as well posters, lawn signs, and social media advertising.

You can help raise awareness and change driver behavior on PCH:

• Slow down and drive safely and patiently. Set the cruise control, enjoy the ride, put down the phone, that text can wait.
• Observed posted speed limits in construction zones, where there are workers and work vehicles, equipment, and changing traffic patterns. Fines for traffic citations are doubled in construction zones under California law.
• Come to Malibu City Hall and sign the Pledge Wall to show your commitment to slowing down and helping to make PCH safer.
• Pick up a free lawn sign at City Hall and post it on your property.
• Pick up a free poster and post it at your business or workplace.
• Post a photo on social media with your lawn sign or poster, with the hashtag#GoSafelyPCH
• Sign the online pledge at:GoSafelyPCH.org.

For more information about the City’s efforts to address PCH safety,visit the webpage.

(NEW) PCH TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT UPDATE

In response to the increasingly dangerous conditions on PCH, the City approved a long-term contract with the CHP to add three full-time officers starting in January to assist the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) with traffic enforcement patrols on PCH in Malibu. It is the first since the City's founding in 1991 that Malibu has had regular CHP patrols. After the October 2023 tragedy, the LASD increased traffic enforcement patrols at the City's request. The CHP patrols and the intensified traffic enforcement by LASD have already gotten noticeable results, with fewer collisions, injuries and deaths on PCH in Malibu. This highly visible enforcement sends a strong signal that speeding and reckless driving will not be tolerated in Malibu.

(NEW) SUMMER SEASON PCH SAFETY AND BEACH MESSAGING

With Memorial Day Weekend signaling the start of the busy summer beach season, Malibu prepares to welcome millions of visitors. The City is posting messages to help keep PCH, beaches and trails, and Malibu's neighborhoods safe, clean and beautiful for residents, visitors, cyclists, pedestrians and other motorists all summer long.

• Please help keep PCH safe for residents, visitors, cyclists, pedestrians and other motorists this summer! Celebrate responsibly, don't drink and drive. Designate drivers, use taxis or rideshares, or go sober! Report intoxicated drivers by calling 911.

PUBLIC SAFETY

(NEW) PARKING ENFORCEMENT ACTION

On May 15, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and the Sheriff's Volunteers on Patrol (VOPs) conducted an overnight parking enforcement operation throughout PCH in Malibu. The operation resulted in five towed vehicles, one DUI arrest, more than 60 citations for vehicles in violation of the City’s ordinance restricting overnight parking of oversized vehicles on PCH, expired vehicle registrations, and more. The City will continue to work in partnership with LASD to ensure overnight parking restrictions are continuously enforced throughout PCH to proactively address the issue of vehicular homelessness and improve public safety and quality of life in Malibu.

FIRE SAFETY

NOW IS THE TIME TO COMPLETE MANDATORY BRUSH CLEARANCE BEFORE JUNE 1 DEADLINE

The June 1 deadline for mandatory brush clearance is coming up fast, so now is the time for Malibu homeowners to get started on their brush clearance. Proper brush clearance is one of the most important ways to make your home and the community more resistant to wildfires. If you have not yet completed your brush clearance and need help or information, please contact our Fire Safety Liaisons atFireSafety@MalibuCity.org or call 310-456-2489, we are here to help you. Brush clearance helps create the “defensible space” that firefighters need to safely and effectively protect life, property, and the environment. Be sure to complete your brush clearance before the June 1 deadline to avoid fines. For more information including a list of vendors, maps, a video and more,visit the LA County Fire Department website.

SIGN UP NOW FOR A HOME WILDFIRE ASSESSMENT TOGETHER WITH BRUSH CLEARANCE

In addition to completing mandatory brush clearance, one of the best ways to protect your home and community is to get a free Home Wildfire Assessment. The assessment involves a 30-to-60-minute exterior inspection of your property by the City's Fire Safety Liaisons looking at what can be done to make the home and property less vulnerable to the millions of flying embers from a wind-driven wildfire, a leading cause of homes burning down in wildfires. You’ll get a checklist of steps to take to harden your property, such as removing dead vegetation or wood furniture that is touching the house and covering attic vents with fine steel mesh. For more information and to schedule a free Home Wildfire Assessment,visit the Fire Safety webpageor call 310-456-2489, ext. 238, or emailFireSafety@MalibuCity.org.

APPLICATIONS ARE ONCE AGAIN BEING ACCEPTED FOR FREE HAZARD TREE REMOVAL PROGRAM

PROGRAM APPLIES TO DEAD TREES ONLY. OPEN TO MALIBU CITY RESIDENTS ONLY.The City is once again accepting applications for the free Hazard Tree Removal Program. The City secured an additional $326,000 in grant funding to extend the popular program. This is the third round since the program started in 2021. The program is one of the concrete steps that the City is taking to improve wildfire safety across the community in Malibu. It empowers residents to make their homes and properties less vulnerable to wildfire, which in turn protects entire neighborhoods by reducing the fuel that fires need to spread. The City’s Fire Safety Liaisons and a licensed arborist will come to your home and determine if the trees meet the program's criteria for removal. For more information and to sign up,visit the webpage.

PUBLIC WORKS

UPDATES ON LANE AND ROAD CLOSURES

The City is in constant communication with Caltrans as their engineers continue to assess the safety and stability of the slopes and roadway at the landslide sites in Topanga Canyon and on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).

Lane closures on PCH for the City's PCH Signal Synchronization Project are necessary to complete the City's most significant project to date to improve safety and mobility on PCH, a top priority of the community. The signal project work cannot be done at night safely and without incurring major project cost overruns and delays. Completion is expected in late 2024.

The City understands the inconvenience and frustration caused by the traffic congestion. The closures are necessary for the safety of motorists and workers. We will continue to post any significant changes on social media and other platforms. If no updates are posted, it is because nothing has changed.

Meanwhile, check navigation apps andQuickmap.dot.ca.gov for road conditions and closures or call Caltrans Highway Information Network at 800-427-7623 before hitting the road, andfollow Caltrans District 7 on X (Twitter).

For City information, follow us onX (Twitter),Facebook,Instagram and theCity website. Sign up for City traffic alertson the website.

Please drive cautiously in the slide areas, and watch for workers and work vehicles in the road. Fines for traffic citations in construction zones are doubled under CA law.

CITY OF MALIBU PROJECTS

MALIBU PCH SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PROJECT
Crews are currently working westward near Carbon Canyon, and have bored and installed approximately 25,000 linear feet of conduit. Additional crews are working further west identifying existing utilities, potholing and installing new conduits and pull boxes. Unfortunately, crews are unable to implement the alternate traffic control (shifting the lanes to the center to keep two lanes open) due to safety reasons, existing infrastructure, and specific locations of ongoing work.

PCH MEDIAN PROJECT
Construction is underway on PCH from John Tyler Dr to Puerco Canyon on the City’s PCH Median Improvement Project, which will contribute to PCH safety. Estimated completion June 2024.

MALIBU BLUFFS PARK SOUTH WALKWAY REPAIRS – The contractor started pouring concrete for the west portion of the sidewalk and most of the curb last week. Crews will continue preparing subgrade and installing forms for remaining sections of sidewalk at east end of project.

MALIBU PARK STREET RESURFACING PROJECT – The contractor has completed the 30" diameter RCP storm drain pipe and catch basins, pavement repairs and Type II Slurry, proposed on both sides of Harvester Road. Asphalt is delayed due to weed issues but is expected to be ready in mid-May. Final striping will be scheduled shortly after paving is completed.
