Traffic Advisory
Date: September 13, 2026
District: 7, Los Angeles and Ventura counties
Reported by: Topanga Town Council
Here is the latest from Sheriff Botros at CalTrans:
The location is along the PM 2.7 wall, not PM 2.5.
With the upcoming storm season approaching and storms potentially occurring at any time, we directed the contractor to place the temporary asphalt section as soon as possible to prevent further erosion.
During the last rain event, likely in April 2026, stormwater flowed thru the unpaved area between the existing EP and the back of the wall, seeped behind the wall, and discharged from underneath it.
This resulted in undermining beneath the PM 2.7 wall and slope erosion.
The final plan is to:
- Remove k-rails
- Grind and overlay the pavement section that Vladimir's office previously skipped.
- Install an AC dike behind the wall to ensure stormwater is directed to the newly constructed DI at the south end of the PM 2.7 wall.
- Construct vegetation control.
- Install MGS per plans.

TopangaSAFE is a real-time, two-way communication network for Topanga residents, currently hosted on WhatsApp. It originated during the Palisades Fire as a way for neighbors to stay connected amidst rapidly evolving and fragmented information.
We share timely updates from verified sources and help neighbors self-organize by zone so we can stay connected, informed, and resourced during moments of uncertainty -- a natural part of life in Topanga. From lost pets to power outages and evacuation warnings, our goal is to offer our community real-time clarity, coordination, and a bit more sanity when things feel uncertain.
