Nearly a week after four Pepperdine students were killed on Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu residents are calling on city officials to improve safety on that stretch of road.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath told L.A.’s Morning News she plans to work with local and state officials, as well as Captain Jennifer Seetoo with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department’s Malibu-Lost Hills Station to combat the ongoing issues on the PCH.
“Too often I have heard, this is this jurisdiction's responsibility or that jurisdiction's responsibility and nothing can be more infuriating, especially for people who are hurting who are broken-hearted in the face of tragedy, who are just simply looking for change,” Horvath said. “That's why they elected us and that's why I'm fighting to bring everybody together to make sure we're united, not just on the statement, but on action.”
She added that she reached out to the PCH Task Force to move their usual December meeting.
“We are looking at a meeting on November the eighth to bring everyone together to take a look at what the comprehensive plan looks like and make sure that the proposal that we are bringing forward isn't just a Band-Aid that isn't going to work,” Horvath said.
She also said she wants to make sure the plan does allow for community input as well.
