That deleted post was probably mine. I asked for it, I am sorry, and it won't happen again.

Jonathan -- Great site!
Email sent to City:
Subject: Public Access

My wife and I live at 24444 Malibu Road; we've been Malibu residents for over 20 years.

We've always lived near a public access point on Malibu Road. We have had no complaints in that regard, although it is disconcerting when the homeless sleep on the beach, or come down to the beach early in the morning to use our showers.

Recently, we noticed that the public access nearest our home (one house closer to Webb Way than our home) was being left wide open, and unlocked, 24 hours a day. This has resulted in more people parking and using the beach late at night (even though the signs provide that the access will be closed and locked at sunset).

My wife call Beaches and Harbors, which advised her that they had (I assume unilaterally) determined to leave the gates unlocked and open 24/7.

The idea of granting public access to private property was to strike a fine balance between the public and the owners of the properties. I know that at our previous home, the grant agreement specifically specified that the County had to close and lock the gates at night; I assume that all the grant agreements have similar language.

Now we also have to deal with unilateral actions by Beach and Harbor.

Can the City help in this matter?

Thank you for your review of this issue.

Jonathan,

Just discovered the website a couple of weeks ago and love it. I'm spreading the word. They layout is great, the content informative but not dry, and varied subject matter.

I mention only in response to apparent erroneous posts in this thread and as context for next comments and next steps. Those of us who initially commented here and in the breaking story took some heat from truckers and family/ friends, etc. I was commenting for the record. But --- the City will not go after this. Patch is our only real forum and we might get some progress before the next runaway.
