"We are coming together to make a heartfelt wish come true in memory of Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams, who were taken from us on October 17th, 2023, in a senseless disaster on PCH. By participating in this GoFundMe, born from the loving heart of Asha Weir’s mother, Vinita Wier, you’ll help create a permanent memorial at Point Dume. Asha, Niamh, Peyton, and Deslyn often visited this place to enjoy the beauty and solitude.

Asha saw this place by the Pacific waters as a place to wash her thoughts away. In her last months, she penned a poem called "For A Moment of Peace," which captures the spirit of Point Dume and her love for Malibu. Below, you’ll find a copy of the poem.

Streets Are For Everyone, along with the Emily Shane Foundation and members of the FixPCH team, have worked with the California State Parks District Superintendent to design a memorial program honoring these four girls. It will be the first of its kind—a permanent tribute offering breathtaking panoramic views of the bluffs, beaches, and ocean they all loved. This space will feature two park benches where others can come and enjoy Point Dume. Each bench or table will have a small plaque with a QR code linking to a digital memorial of all four girls, Asha's poem, and reminding people to drive safely, especially along PCH.

Each bench or picnic table will cost $8000 to make and install ($16,000 for all four)l. This includes maintenance or replacement in the event of loss.

Every contribution counts. Together, we can honor Niamh, Peyton, Asha, and Deslyn in a way that celebrates the love, joy, and positive change they brought to this world. Any funds raised beyond the memorial’s cost will be donated to the Emily Shane Foundation and Streets Are For Everyone, under the wishes of their families. Both foundations have been the driving force to make PCH safer.

When this memorial is complete, we invite you to visit Point Dume, to stand at the water’s edge, and find a Moment of Peace. Let’s spread the word, share this GoFundMe, and continue their legacy—making PCH safer and remembering these four extraordinary young women in all the ways they deserve."

To stay safe, it is crucial for Malibu residents to have a Red Flag Plan. Follow the Los Angeles County Fire Department's "Ready, Set, Go" wildfire safety program.

Following Governor Gavin Newsom's signing of SB 1297 into law, the City of Malibu is taking swift action to implement speed cameras along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in order to reduce speeding and enhance road safety. This critical step is part of the City's comprehensive efforts to protect residents, visitors, and all who travel through Malibu.

The City has launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop a Speed Safety System Use Policy and a Speed Safety System Impact Report, which are essential first steps in implementing the speed camera system. These measures will ensure the program is rolled out responsibly and in accordance with the state statute outlined in the bill. Proposals must be electronically submitted to Susan Duenas, Public Safety Director, at SDuenas@malibucity.org no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, November 1, 2024

"We are committed to moving forward with the speed camera program as quickly as possible, while adhering to all state guidelines," said Malibu Mayor Doug Stewart. "This is an important tool in our ongoing efforts to improve safety on PCH, and we will continue to keep the community informed as we progress."

The City’s Public Works Department has already identified the locations where speed cameras will be placed based on the highest rates of speed-related collisions and fatalities.

The speed cameras will be installed in the following high-risk areas along PCH:

Decker Canyon

Between Guernsey Avenue & Morning View

Latigo Canyon

Between Carbon Beach Terrace & Carbon Canyon

Tuna Canyon

The law goes into effect in January 2025, and the City is focused on moving swiftly while ensuring that all necessary regulatory processes are followed. Malibu remains dedicated to an "all of the above" approach to road safety, combining enforcement, education, and infrastructure improvements. The speed cameras will complement these ongoing efforts to reduce dangerous speeding and protect lives.

In Malibu, one northbound lane (#2 lane) on Pacific Coast Highway will be closed after 9PM Monday thru Friday nights till late October for cleanup work being done by Caltrans in the Big Rock area.
