Despite not being on the agenda, residents, lawmakers and deputies packed the Malibu City Council meeting to call for more safety measures on the Pacific Coast Highway.
Last week, four young women from Pepperdine University died in a violent crash along the major thoroughfare. While also passing their condolences to the women's loved ones, speakers shared their own stories of death, injury and fear along the treacherous freeway.'When you exit the driveway to PCH it's like playing Frogger,' said one speaker. Since 2020, 37 people died in car crashes on the 22-mile part of the PCH near Malibu. Some of the victims were in cars.
'Uhring added that the safety concerns along Malibu's part of the PCH have been an ongoing issue, but the city can't get the enforcement it needs. Caltrans maintains the roadway, but the California Highway Patrol and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department cannot patrol the area because of understaffing — despite available funds. 'We'll pay them whatever they need to get those resources. Money isnt the issue,' said Uhring.
