Posetano Road Restoration - The Emergency Road Repairs project on Posetano Road has begun. Notification signage has been placed along Castellammare Drive, and additional street-closure signs will be posted on days when contractors need to deliver heavy equipment or materials. Residents in the immediate vicinity have already been notified regarding planned construction activities and temporary street closures. Please note that the contractor will require full clearance of Castellammare Drive, Stretto Way, and Posetano Road on Tuesday, November 25th. During this time, residents should anticipate limited access between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Drilling work is tentatively scheduled for Monday, December 1st, and roadway clearance will again be necessary to allow the contractor to perform the required work safely and efficiently. We will continue to provide timely notifications to neighbors directly affected by these activities. Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we complete these essential repairs.
This Week’s Rain - During this week’s rainy weather, the Department of Public Works and LASAN were deployed to address local flooding concerns and clear catch basins to improve water flow. Thanks to the proactive efforts of EMD and City departments, storm drains and catch basins were opened and cleared to help prevent blockages and reduce flooding impacts throughout the area.
Mural Bubblebath - The community came together for a “Mural Bubblebath” at the Temescal Canyon Mural on November 15–16, 2025, where volunteers helped clean and prepare the beloved 552-foot artwork for its upcoming restoration. Participants worked alongside MuralColors in the first phase of reviving the historic 1983 mural, which has depicted the landscape and cultural history of Pacific Palisades for more than forty years. Volunteers signed up for 3-hour shifts and were provided with all necessary cleaning supplies and PPE on site. Since the event was active and outdoors, attendees arrived in comfortable, protective clothing and made use of the water and light snacks offered throughout the day. The effort marked an important milestone in a community-driven restoration project that will continue through Summer 2026. The strong volunteer turnout demonstrated the community’s dedication to preserving this iconic piece of local history.
LADWP Water Regulator Station Update - The Via De La Paz and Sunset Boulevard Water Regulator Station Replacement Project is enhancing LADWP’s water distribution system and improving reliability for customers. Crews are replacing all pipes and valves inside and outside the underground concrete vault, while the vault itself remains in place. No water service outages are expected, though a single overnight shift will install a temporary bypass line. Construction runs from early December 2025 to early May 2026, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Traffic on Via De La Paz will be fully closed during construction, with detours and parking restrictions in place to ensure public safety.
Final Community Visioning Charrette - The final community visioning charrette for the Palisades will take place on December 13, 10 AM–12 PM at PRC HQ (15224 Sunset Blvd). This session welcomes residents who missed their neighborhood charrette, mobile home communities planning for potential rebuilding, and anyone interested in contributing to a resilient, purposeful rebuild. Participants will collaborate with RAND researchers, AIA volunteers, and fellow fire survivors to help shape the future of the Palisades. Don’t miss this opportunity to have your voice heard before the report-back.
A Message from LAPD & Public Safety Partners - As rebuilding continues in the Palisades, homeowners, builders, and crews are urged to keep sites secure and reduce opportunities for theft. Schedule an on-site security assessment with LAPD, post a clear site security plan, and lock gates after hours. Vehicles should always be locked, tools stored in secure containers, and high-value equipment GPS-tagged and inventoried. Motion-activated lights, cameras, and license plate recognition systems help monitor activity, and internet connectivity ensures alerts are received in real time. Always report thefts or suspicious activity to LAPD, even minor incidents, to help protect the community. Following these steps makes construction sites safer and keeps the Palisades a hard target for crime.
