The property, at 16701 Via La Costa, was dedicated for public use in 1989 as part of an agreement between Headland Proper- ties Associations, LLC, the developers of the Highlands, and the Coastal Commission. According to the agreement, Headland was required to build a restroom and park- ing spaces to make it easier for Los Ange- les residents to access the Temescal Ridge Trail, which connects to Temescal Canyon and the Backbone Trail and also serves as a firebreak. The agreement also lays out ownership rules: “The trailhead may be transferred to the City of Los Angeles Department of Recre- ation and Parks for purposes of mainte- nance and liability, or other public or non-profit agency approved by the Execu- tive Director [of the Coastal Commission].” (Continued on Page 26) The trailhead’s bathroom and parking are closed off to public use.

  • Malibu 90265 Introduction
    Malibu 90265 Introduction by Taylor Coffman FROM THE SANTA MONICA PIER, it’s a six-mile drive up Pacific Coast Highway to Tuna Canyon Road. Not far along this northwest-to- westerly route lies the site of the Beach House, as William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies called their grand mansion of the 1920s and ’30s, once the film colony’s most palatial home. Past that, in Pacific Palisades, lies the Bel-Air Bay Club; and then PCH reaches Sunset Boulevard, the world’s only street so-named. On the ocean side is the fish restaurant known as Gladstone’s Malibu. But it’s a false start: the border of that famous town lies almost a mile ahead still. Thelma Todd’s house and the section of Pacific Palisades called Castellammare are next; tucked away nearby, invisible from the main road, is the Getty Villa (J. Paul Getty greatly admired Hearst). Then comes the more working-class enclave of Sunset Mesa, or Parker Mesa. Right past it is the last part of what, overall, amounts to outlying Los Angeles and its coveted Westside, namely, the place where Topanga Canyon Boulevard reaches Topanga State Beach, once a Bohemian seaside haunt but now a bittersweet memory. Go another half mile, past the City of Malibu sign, and watch for a larger sign next to Tuna Canyon Road. It announces “Malibu 27 Miles of Scenic Beauty.” Years ago, in this same spirit of local pride, the old Malibu Township was often said to extend for twenty-six miles. In reality, twenty-nine miles (and even closer to thirty) is more like it in embracing the total Malibu coastline, the long shorefront of what I like to call greater Malibu, the storied land of postal ZIP code 90265.

Terracotta. Lent by the Cleveland Museum of Art, John L. Severance Fund. LOS ANGELES—The Art of Ancient Greek Theater, on view at the Getty Villa from August 26, 2010 – January 3, 2011, is the first exhibition in the United States in over fifty years to focus on the artistic representation of theatrical performance in ancient Greece. Assembling international loans of antiquities from many museums and private collections, the exhibition illustrates the ways in which dramatic performance was depicted in the visual arts of ancient Greece between the fifth and the first centuries B.C. The exhibition is being presented in conjunction with the Getty Villa’s annual outdoor theater performance, Sophocles’ Elektra. “Ancient art and theater share a strong and enduring connection–one that is inspired by mythology and the social, cultural, and political realities of life in ancient Greece and Rome,” says David Bomford, acting director of the J. Paul Getty Museum. “With this exhibition and our annual production in the outdoor theater, we are delighted to bring ancient theater alive at the Getty Villa and invite our visitors to join us and discover how those themes found in ancient times persist today.” -more- Page 2 The Art of Ancient Greek Theater spans centuries of artistic production throughout the cities of the Mediterranean.

  • California Incline Project – Traffic Management Plan Update Updated: September 2, 2014
    City of Santa Monica Transportation Engineering & Management Division 1685 Main Street, Room 115 Santa Monica, CA 90401 California Incline Project – Traffic Management Plan Update Updated: September 2, 2014 Summary The demolition and reconstruction of the California Incline in Santa Monica is currently scheduled to begin in early 2015. Throughout the conceptual development and environmental study of the project, traffic congestion concerns and the requirements to manage and mitigate traffic congestion were at the forefront. The design for the project is currently in-progress, and a comprehensive traffic management plan is being developed. The traffic management plan consists of four core components: • Extensive deployment of traffic sensors and dynamic message boards to monitor real-time traffic conditions and provide real-time travel information. • Emphasis of detour routes to/from Downtown Santa Monica via the Moomat Ahiko ramp at Pacific Coast Highway and via the Lincoln Boulevard ramp at I-10. • Traffic counts will be collected at key locations immediately before and after the California Incline is closed in order to provide baseline traffic data. • Provision of as-needed traffic control devices and on-call support staff to address any congestion issues that occur, such as increased traffic in Santa Monica Canyon. Real-Time Traffic Monitoring and Information A total of 16 Bluetooth sensors and eight dynamic message boards will be deployed in key locations in order to monitor traffic conditions and report information to motorists in real-time, as shown on the figure below. One additional sensor may be deployed as-needed. Real-time information will also be transmitted to local news agencies, online travel applications, and in-vehicle navigation companies.
