Honoring our Fire Victims One Year Later

12/11/2025

COMMUNITY ALERT:
SAVE THE DATE: WEDNESDAY, DEC 17 AT MALIBU CITY HALL 4:30 PM
STOP THE CIVIC CENTER
ANTENNA POLE

On December 17, the City Council can order the removal of the illegally constructed, over-height, high-emission antenna pole in the Civic Center.

At just 18 feet from classrooms, walkways, and public areas, this giant, unpermitted pole could remain UNLESS Malibu residents show up and object to its unlawful design and the attempt to excuse deliberate code violations.

The applicant — Los Angeles County — wants special treatment to circumvent multiple clear violations, even as it has failed to deliver basic safety for Malibu from wildfire, unhoused issues, and this very installation, despite receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes from our community each year.

Malibu deserves far better.
MTC appealed the City to STOP the illegal construction, relocate and lower the pole to behind the college where dangerous emissions will be greatly reduced for children, students, families, and workers.

Since 1947, the Malibu Township Council (MTC) has stood for responsible development, environmental protection, and public safety along Pacific Coast Highway.

Now, on the two-year anniversary of the October 17, 2023 Pepperdine tragedy, when four young women were struck and killed walking along PCH, Caltrans is advancing a “safety project” that does not honor their memory.

Instead of real reform, the plan offers painted lanes, 42 streetlights, and narrower roads — a design that looks safer on paper but puts people at greater risk.

The Real Problem
In fifteen years, 61 people have been killed on PCH in Malibu — most were pedestrians and cyclists.
2012–14: 19 pedestrian collisions (6 fatal) + 41 bike collisions (1 fatal)
2016–20: 13 more pedestrian + 1 cyclist fatality
2023: Four Pepperdine students killed walking along PCH

The greatest danger lies with those outside their cars—yet Caltrans’ plan focuses mainly on vehicles.

Paint Isn’t Protection
Caltrans proposes 15.4 miles of painted Class II bike lanes beside 50-mph traffic — no barriers, no buffers, no protection.

As Michel Shane, co-founder of the Emily Shane Foundation, wrote:
Protected lanes cut crashes by 40–53 %.
Federal law (23 U.S.C. § 217) and California SB 960 require safe, separated designs.
Federal grants can fund up to 80 % of protected lane costs.

If Caltrans can afford 42 streetlights, it can afford protection that actually saves lives.

Narrow Lanes, No Barriers
To make room for paint, Caltrans would shrink lanes to 10.5 feet — without barriers.
On a 50-mph evacuation route shared by trucks, buses, and RVs, that’s reckless.
Narrowing with protection is acceptable if designed correctly.
If protected (Class IV) lanes are installed with physical separation — curbs, bollards, or raised buffers — narrower lanes can work safely.
But narrowing for paint alone is dangerous.
And without consistent LAPD and CHP enforcement, no design will stop speeding. Engineering must be paired with accountability on the road.
