It is rumored to potentially be August 10th, 2026. The agenda and participation instructions will be posted at MalibuCity.org/AgendaCenter once the date and time is selected and fully finalized.

How It All Works:

Lane reduction for bike lane plan

The purpose of this "pilot project" is to install roundabouts and begin removing car lanes in Malibu so that PCH is a single lane in each direction.

Once they remove lanes here, they intend to extend this "pilot" beyond this area. There is an upcoming PCH repaving project which presents the opportunity to do this.

El Matador Roundabout Render

To start, the first two roundabouts like this will be installed on Pacific Coast Highway.

Encinal and El Matador Map Locations

The first is at El Matador State Beach parking lot. The second is at Encinal Canyon Road. 

Roundabout and lane reduction overview

Before each roundabout, cars are expected to slow from 55 MPH to 15 MPH for the roundabouts and merge into a single lane. This will cause massive backups and congestion.

El Matador Roundabout Plan

Single lane roundabouts only allow one car through at a time. If the roundabout is full, cars are forced to stop.

New METAL POLES for lights and crosswalks are being put in the MIDDLE OF THE EXISTING HIGHWAY. This presents a fatal hazard if cars don't slow down in time and lose control.

After you exit the roundabout, PCH is one lane and speeds are 35 mph, creating further congestion.

Encinal Canyon Road Roundabout Plan

This is the next roundabout. Cars will need to slow to 15 mph again or come to a complete stop, depending on traffic.

PCH will be permanently gridlocked if this "one lane" PCH plan is carried out and extended down the coast.

Please, sign the petition, e-mail city council, and show up to city council.
