Parking Restrictions Coming to PCH Near Paradise Cove

Plans were announced Monday for the installation of no parking signs along a 1,000-foot stretch of Pacific Coast Highway near Paradise Cove.

The signs will be installed within three to four weeks, “Caltrans willing,” Malibu City Manager Jim Thorsen said at Monday’s City Council meeting.

Visitors to Paradise Cove during warm days causes safety issues by families and other beachgoers parking and darting across Pacific Coast Highway to get to the popular beach spot.

Malibu Councilman Laura Zahn Rosenthal, who has been spearheading the effort to restrict parking along PCH near Paradise Cove, said she saw design drawings of the signs.

She said the no parking signs will go where the guardrails are on both sides.

“It’s a start and it’s a very important start,” Rosenthal said. “It will really add to the safety there.”
