Pacific Coast Hwy will reopen to the public in Malibu & Pacific Palisades Friday, May 23 in time for Memorial Day holiday.

The Pacific Coast Highway, which was closed following the Palisades Fire, will reopen to public travel ahead of schedule this Friday in advance of Memorial Day Holiday.

Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that State Route 1/Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) will reopen to all drivers at 8 a.m. Friday, May 23, in time for the Memorial Day weekend.

“In California, we get stuff done, period. We’re opening the PCH back up early, with more lanes before Angelenos hit the road this Memorial Day. We are able to do this thanks to the tireless work of hundreds of construction and road crews and with help from our partners at the Army Corps of Engineers.”

According to the governor office, a "robust security presence will remain at the neighborhood level following the highway reopening. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has directed LAPD to continue its increased deployment in the Palisades, including staffing check points 24 hours a day."

“The reopening of Pacific Coast Highway marks an important step forward in our recovery effort in the Palisades, which is on track to be the fastest in state history,” said Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. “I thank Governor Newsom, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and partners at all levels of government for their partnership and collaboration as we work around the clock to get families home and businesses reopened. As Pacific Coast Highway reopens, we will continue to protect the safety and security of Palisades neighborhoods through a strict security plan established in coordination with the State. All of us have a shared goal – to ensure residents can safely and quickly rebuild and return to their community. We will continue working together toward that goal and recommit to clearing any barrier that stands in the way of recovery.”

What to Expect for Travelers

Be aware that repairs will continue even after two lanes in both directions are opened to the public.

For the safety of repair crews and first responders, drivers are asked to please use caution while driving through the area, Move Over if possible, and slow down. A 25 mile per hour speed limit will remain in effect.

Due to the volume of traffic expected over the holiday weekend and ongoing construction, drivers should expect delays on PCH. Please allow extra time for travel or find an alternate route to your destination.

Caltrans and CHP reminds drivers that traffic fines can be doubled in an active work zone.

“Instead of having to hang a u-turn on PCH, Angelenos can now ‘hang ten’ with Malibu businesses and residents. I want to offer a big thanks to federal, state, and local partners who made this happen!” said Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin.

There are many people in the Palisades and Malibu the are against re-opening of PCH, they have been voicing thier concerns on social media and contacing all the local officials about it. But all of the council members and the 3 mayors are in favor of the opening.

Officers arrived on scene within two minutes and discovered two individuals who had been stabbed. The first victim, an adult male, sustained multiple stab wounds to the upper torso. SMPD personnel provided initial medical aid to the victim. Upon their arrival, Santa Monica Fire Department (SMFD) paramedics continued medical treatment and then transported the individual to a local area hospital.

The second victim, an adult female, was also discovered to have sustained stab wounds. She was also transported to the hospital for treatment and released.

Suspect #2, 20-year-old Ivan Angel Plancarte from San Gabriel, CA was taken into custody on Monday, April 21, 2025 and charged with attempted murder (664/187 PC).



Suspect #1 remains outstanding.

The investigation into this incident is ongoing. Anyone with information related to this crime is encouraged to contact the Det. Zamfirov (Peter.Zamfirov@santamonica.gov) at (310)458-8398, Det. Sgt. Lozano (Alfonso.Lozano@santamonica.gov) at (310)458-8774, or the Watch Commander 24 hours a day at (310) 458-8427.

Conditions on PCH have become increasingly dangerous over the years, with dozens of pedestrian, cyclist, and motorist fatalities and injuries, culminating in the deaths of four Pepperdine students struck by a speeding motorist as they stood along PCH on October 17, 2023. As a result of this horrific incident, Senate Bill (SB) 1297 was created and signed by the Governor on September 27, 2024. SB 1297 authorizes the installation of five speed camera systems along the 21-mile stretch of PCH within Malibu.

Speed cameras detect speeding vehicles using radar or laser technology to measure speed. When a vehicle is detected exceeding the speed limit, the camera takes a picture or video of the vehicle, capturing its license plate, date, time, and location. This information is then checked to confirm the violation, and local authorities decide whether to give a warning or a speeding ticket to the vehicle's registered owner.

The legislation requires the City to adopt a Speed Safety System Use Policy and approve an Impact Report before purchasing or leasing equipment. Once the System is in place, warning citations will be issued for the first 60 days of operation. After that, civil penalties shall be assessed to non-emergency vehicles as follows:

$50 for driving at a speed of 11 to 15 miles per hour over the posted speed limit.

$100 for driving at a speed of 16 to 25 miles per hour over the posted speed limit.

$200 for driving at a speed of 26 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit.

$500 for driving at a speed of 100 miles per hour or more.

The Getty Villa is reopening on June 27. What to expect:

Getty announced today that the Getty Villa Museum will reopen to the public on Friday, June 27th, following its temporary closure due to the Palisades Fire.

The Villa closed on the morning of January 7th when the site was threatened by the Palisades Fire. Since then, Getty has worked closely with its own staff and partnering agencies to test the grounds to ensure that the site and buildings are safe for the public to return.

The Villa will be open on a limited schedule of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, from 10am to 5pm, to limit the amount of traffic on Pacific Coast Highway. The Villa is currently not accessible via Sunset Blvd., so guests should enter via PCH only. Reservations will be limited to 500 visitors daily, and free timed-entry reservations are now available to book online. Parking will remain $25.

“It is with the utmost gratitude and appreciation for Getty staff, first responders, and other agencies that we can announce the reopening of the Villa to the public,” says Katherine Fleming, President and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust. “Without their tireless efforts, we would not be in the position we are in today, where we can welcome back visitors and the surrounding community to enjoy the Villa grounds and collection.”

On the day of the Palisades Fire, January 7th, 17 Getty facilities, grounds, and security team members volunteered to stay on site to protect the museum. Staff were able to seal the galleries and put out small fires in the days that followed. The Villa was spared through the valiant efforts of the LAFD firefighters in the surrounding neighborhoods and targeted water drops.

Getty’s facilities and grounds teams have coordinated an extensive cleanup, including deep cleaning indoor and outdoor spaces, flushing the water system, replacing all air and water filters, and removing more than 1,300 fire-damaged trees. The site may look different to visitors, with less vegetation and some burn damage to the outer grounds.

The museum’s next exhibition, The Kingdom of Pylos: Warrior-Princes of Ancient Greece, will be on view from June 27 through January 12, 2026. The exhibition will showcase over 230 works of art and artifacts from Messenia, an epicenter of the Mycenaean civilization that flourished in Late Bronze Age Greece. The first major display in North America focused on Mycenaeans, highlights of the exhibition include clay tablets written in “Linear B,” the earliest form of the written Greek language, and the Pylos Combat Agate, a Minoan sealstone that is considered among the most exceptional works of prehistoric Aegean art.

The previous Villa exhibition, Ancient Thrace and the Classical World: Treasures from Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece, was forced to close prematurely due to the fire. Getty has created a virtual tour of the exhibition to allow visitors to explore the fascinating culture of the ancient Thracians.

“We are incredibly grateful for the support received from the Museum community and beyond as we work towards reopening the Getty Villa Museum,” says Timothy Potts, Maria Hummer-Tuttle and Robert Tuttle Director of the Getty Museum. “We look forward to welcoming visitors back to explore our newest exhibition, The Kingdom of Pylos, and much more of our treasured antiquities collection this summer.”

Getty’s Outdoor Classical Theater will also return this fall, with its 19th annual production at the Getty Villa Museum, Oedipus the King, Mama!, co-produced by Troubadour Theater Company. The Villa’s public programs schedule will continue, with a robust slate of talks and events, both in-person and online, focused on the upcoming Kingdom of Pylos exhibition.

Visitors may experience traffic and arrival delays to the Getty Villa Museum. Getty continues to work closely with local officials to remain up to date on appropriate safety and arrival measures.

The Santa Monica City Council early Wednesday approved a new Entertainment Zone, a first-of-its-kind effort to support economic development and bring new experiences to the iconic Third Street Promenade shopping district.

The Entertainment Zone ordinance will allow adults 21+ to purchase alcoholic beverages from a participating, licensed Promenade business and consume them outdoors on the 1200-1400 blocks of the Promenade, between Wilshire Boulevard and Broadway.

Per City Council direction, the Entertainment Zone will begin with a soft rollout in early June, with initial hours on Friday through Sunday from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. The official launch is set for the city’s annual Pride on the Promenade celebration on June 21.

The Entertainment Zone will be the first in Southern California, made possible by California’s Senate Bill 969, which went into effect this year, allowing local governments to create designated outdoor areas where open container prohibitions are lifted for beverages purchased from participating restaurants and bars.

“The new Entertainment Zone will provide a unique way for visitors to experience the iconic Third Street Promenade that caters to the new trends in shopping and dining,” Mayor Lana Negrete said. “It is an example of the many ways Santa Monica is thinking creatively about our economic growth and I’m excited to see more residents and visitors supporting our downtown businesses while responsibly enjoying the Entertainment Zone.”

Parameters for Santa Monica’s Entertainment Zone include:  

Participating businesses will need to opt-in and sign a participation agreement with the city. 
The business will be responsible for checking IDs as they normally would when serving alcohol, and they will then provide the customer with an official city-provided wristband that they must wear while consuming the drink outdoors. 
Business owners will supply their own to-go cups (they must not be made of metal or glass per state law). 
Individuals may window shop but will not be permitted to take their beverage into any other businesses - for outdoor consumption only. 

The Entertainment Zone will be active from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday through Sunday to start, with the goal of expanding the program to 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days per week as feasible.

Businesses with current alcohol licenses can choose to participate in the Entertainment Zone by signing a participation agreement with the city. The Promenade will remain open, as usual, to families and visitors of all ages. 

City Community Development and public safety staff will provide regular status updates on the Entertainment Zone rollout and make adjustments as needed.

In addition, per California law, the five essential rules of the Entertainment Zone are:

You must be 21+ and wear an official wristband to enjoy alcoholic drinks to-go. 
Only alcoholic drinks purchased from participating businesses are allowed. 
Alcohol taken to-go must be in a non-glass, non-metal container. 
Finish your drink before exploring another bar, restaurant or shop. 
Enjoy your alcoholic beverages within the Entertainment Zone boundaries.

Community Development Department staff are working to finalize the management plan for the Entertainment Zone based on feedback from the council meeting and are also working closely with Downtown Santa Monica, Inc., or DTSM, to install signage and other communications to reiterate the rules and boundaries of the Entertainment Zone.

The Santa Monica Police Department, DTSM’s private security firm for the Promenade, Legion, and the city’s Public Works Department are working to ensure that resources and staff are in place to continue to make the Promenade a clean and safe space for everyone to enjoy.

"Few places in the country have the potential to rival Santa Monica’s year-round coastal climate, and this new experience will further elevate our downtown as a place to socialize and connect," Andrew Thomas, CEO of Downtown Santa Monica, Inc said. "This wouldn’t be possible without the vision and commitment of our local businesses, residents, visitors and the city of Santa Monica. As our downtown transforms to meet new expectations, so too does the city evolve to support the broader community’s needs."

The new ordinance further builds on efforts to enhance offerings in downtown Santa Monica, including outdoor dining and new experiential entertainment such as pickleball and mini golf.

No changes were made to the city’s outdoor dining program, which allows businesses to serve food and drink in designated outdoor spaces on the Promenade.
