CITY COUNCIL DECLARES LOCAL EMERGENCY TO ADDRESS DANGEROUS CONDITIONS ON PCH
The Malibu City Council declared a Local Emergency on Nov. 13, 2023 aimed at addressing the risks to public safety of dangerous, illegal, reckless, and/or distracted driving on Pacific Coast Highway in the City. The action was in response to the increasingly hazardous conditions on PCH in City limits in recent years, which have become a public safety threat for residents, visitors, motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists who use PCH and live, work and recreate on PCH. The PCH safety crisis culminated in the tragic deaths of four Pepperdine students who were struck by a speeding motorist while walking along PCH on October 17.
