Members of the community are invited to share their thoughts about a forthcoming trail that would connect George Wolfberg Park at Potrero Canyon to Will Rogers State Beach via Temescal Canyon Road through a survey that will be open until Friday, August 30, at 5 p.m.
An Open Forum about the Pacific Palisades Pedestrian Trail project (also known as the “lateral trail” project)—with presentations by City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering Project Manager Kristen Ly and Geosyntec Project Consultant Goodwin Wharton—took place on Wednesday evening, August 21, at Palisades Branch Library and online.
“This was a preliminary meeting to inform the Palisades community that this project is underway and to obtain community feedback,” according to Pacific Palisades Community Council. “The presenters reiterated that the trail is required by the Coastal Development Permit for Potrero Canyon to provide coastal access. They emphasized that trail development is in the early stages: funding is not necessarily in place, nor is a specific trail route.”
During the meeting, those who attended in person at Palisades Branch Library were welcome to give their feedback, either by filling out a form or speaking with the project representatives. Now, additional community members are invited to give their feedback via the online survey.
“PPCC strongly encourages everyone to take the survey,” PPCC wrote. “It’s easy—only takes a minute or two of your time … and it’s crucial to convey to city engineers and planners the Palisades community’s opinions and concerns about the potential impacts of this major project. Again, because the city is committed to study the possibilities and return to the community, your input is important.”
A full story about the Open Forum is slated to appear in an upcoming print edition of the Palisadian-Post.
