And from Friday: the California Coastal Commission is acting now on three major Malibu issues:
- Parking signs placed on Point Dume, and the unauthorized death of the Point Dume ghost bus.
- Malibu “ignoring best science” and planning for an 18 inch ocean level rise, instead of 6-1/2 feet
- Why on earth there are oceanfront septic tanks and now sewer in the year 2020. https://www.radiomalibu.net/coastal-comm-hits-malibu-hard-in-3-places-point-dume-parking-ocean-rise-planning-and-oceanfront-septic-tanks-all-placed-in-bullseye/

The summertime traffic jams at Nobu and The Soho House have been a perennial problem in Malibu.
And a continuing issue of discussion at the Planning Commission .… which has been unable to enforce City rules against the two restaurants blocking traffic on Pacific Coast Highway.
The latest effort involves hanging some surveillience cameras across the road … to focus on P-C-H traffic flow.
Traffic engineers from the restaurants and the city are looking at the traffic flow … both in the Nobu/ soho House parking lot … and on PCH.
Their solution … have Caltrans re-stripe the highway somehow.
This may eliminate the problem of cars in one direction trying to turn left into the restaurants …. Using the 2 Way Ctr. left turn lane.
And people also trying to turn left into McDonald’s.
No details have been released on the proposed solution.
