Round Two Survey is now Live!

We would like to ask your preferences about possible modifications to the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).  As a partner with the City of Malibu, Caltrans is studying how to increase safety and to improve conditions for pedestrians, bicyclists, and people riding the bus. Your answers to these questions will help shape the outcome of this study.

In pursuit of the goals of this study, choices and trade-offs may need to be made. The following questions will help us understand what trade-offs you would like to see.

There are five primary types of environments that PCH in Malibu runs through. Each of them may have a different cross section.  For each  of these, please choose your top preferences as to what you would like the road to have.  The options are reflect responses from our round one workshops and survey.  All responses will be kept anonymous.

Question title

Which of the following most closely represents your opinion about the "National Park-Like" Option?
National Park-Like Option: This option would treat PCH in Malibu like some national parks where travel by bus is given some priority and a high level of convenience. Comfortable bicycling and walking would also be accommodated. The area has the Santa Monica Mountains Recreation Area which is part of the National Park system, along with a number of state parks and state beaches. This option would recognize the setting. It would require constructing a number of parking lots connected to shuttle buses, very frequent bus service, and bus stops at beaches and trail heads, as well as typical bus stops at schools, stores, restaurants, etc. Operating frequent bus service would require significant funding.

Question title

Which of the following most closely represents your opinion about the Beach Access Option?
Beach Access Option: This option would add back-in angled parking on the beach side as well as protected bike lanes and a sidewalk connecting the parking to beach entrances. This option would be made possible by reducing the number of travel lanes from 4 to 2. It would consolidate parking on the beach side so people don't walk across the street without designated crossings. The angled parking would replace parking on the mountain side. The sidewalk would reduce the need for people to walk along PCH from parked cars at these locations. This option would be most feasible on the west side of Malibu where traffic volumes are relatively lower and the demand for 4 travel lanes lower.
