The City of Malibu, in collaboration with Caltrans, invites community members to a virtual community meeting on Wednesday, October 22, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, to learn about and provide feedback on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) Quick-Build Roundabouts Project.
The project proposes the installation of two temporary “quick-build” roundabouts—one at El Matador State Beach and another at Encinal Canyon Road—to improve safety and traffic flow on PCH. These locations were identified in the 2015 Pacific Coast Highway Safety Study, which examined collision data, traffic patterns, and pedestrian conflicts throughout the Malibu corridor.
Project Purpose
The PCH Quick-Build Roundabouts Project aims to:
• Reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.
• Enable safer pedestrian crossings and parking near El Matador State Beach.
• Improve visibility and operations at the Encinal Canyon Road intersection, a key connector to Highway 23 and Mulholland Highway.
Construction is anticipated to take place in early 2026, followed by data collection and performance assessment.
Community members can learn more about the project during the virtual meeting and provide feedback using the online form on the project webpage: www.MalibuCity.org/Roundabouts.
