Public Safety Commission and Public Works Commission
Joint Special Meeting on PCH Parking Study
(Malibu, CA) – A Public Safety Commission and Public Works Commission Joint Special Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 29 at 6:30 PM at Malibu City Hall to review the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) Parking Study Draft Final Report. The report includes a review of the existing parking conditions, an assessment of safety and mobility, and recommendations to improve parking along PCH within the Malibu City limits.
The City, in collaboration with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and Caltrans, is conducting the parking study to examine current road and shoulder conditions, create a parking inventory, analyze parking related collisions, assess safety, and develop recommendations to improve parking on PCH in Malibu.
At the March 29 meeting, the Commissions will receive a presentation on the Draft Final Report and provide comments. The meeting will include an opportunity to make public comment.
The City’s PCH Safety Study Final Report, approved by the City Council in 2015, indicated that many collisions along PCH were related to parking. To build upon the PCH Safety Study, the City launched the PCH Parking Study at the end of 2015. The firm that conducted the Safety Study, Stantec Engineering, was selected to conduct the Parking Study. The Parking Study is funded primarily by a Caltrans grant with a contribution from the City.
The Parking Study Draft Final Report will be available for review as an attachment to the Joint Special Public Works Commission and the Public Safety Commission Meeting Agenda, and is posted in the Parking Study project page.
