Chris Spitz reported to the WRAC board on a Los Angeles City Council motion to install street racing prevention measures at certain intersections, including PCH and Temescal Canyon Road, which was identified as one of the top 5 worst intersections in the LAPD West Bureau for street takeover complaints between 2020-2022. After investigation, the reported activity appears to have been limited to occasional vehicle donuts on Temescal Canyon Road during the COVID lockdown period that may have ceased after 2022, and CD 11 will conduct further study and community outreach before determining if preventative measures are needed.

The Los Angeles Department of Public Works Geotechnical Engineering Division completed a field investigation of a landslide below Via De Las Olas at Friends Street in Pacific Palisades that occurred in January 2022 and was reactivated in early 2023. The investigation found that the deteriorating ribbed-metal bulkhead is susceptible to further undermining due to continuous groundwater seepage at the geologic contact, and recommends cooperation between Recreation and Parks and Cal Trans to repair the slide, clean terrace drains, and refer the bulkhead to the Hillside Slope Stability Program.
