White Point Landslide Geotechnical Report on Monday

Posted on June 14, 2012 by sanpedropalisades

Yes, that’s right, it’s almost here.

Originally scheduled for mid April, City of Los Angeles Engineer Gary Lee Moore will present findings of the geotechnical report about the White Point Landslide at a public meeting this Monday, June 18, 6:30 PM at White Point Elementary School Auditorium at 1410 Silvius Avenue.

As we understand it, the report will detail factors that contributed to the slide, as well as proposed repair options, along with estimated costs associated with each. The written report will be available the following day, on the Dept. of Engineering website.

Interestingly, Community leaders and elected Board members from Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council, CSPNC ad hoc Landslide Committee – who serve the City, nor your PRA Board, and/or PRA Traffic Committee, have not been provided or debriefed with this information or consulted with in preparation for this meeting. This means we’re all hearing it for the first time at the same time.

Your CSPNC and PRA Boards will hold their monthly meetings at the regularly scheduled times. CSPNC will hold their Board Session also at 6:30 Monday night 06.19 at the Cabrillo Marina Community Room.

Hear the motions related to early stage solutions for the White Point Landslide, as proposed by the CSPNC Landslide Committee – at 6:30 tonight at the Cabrillo Marina Community Room, adjacent to the Doubletree Hotel.

Many of your fellow PRA Board members carried over these recommendations from the PRA Traffic Committee – including increased signage, traffic circles at Weymouth and Paseo Del Mar and at the West end of Paseo Del Mar near the White Point Nature Preserve Parking Lot, widening Hamilton between Patton and Walker, and traffic mitigation on Alma.

See you tonight.
