Landslide isolates 154 families at Palisades trailer park
A massive landslide from the Pacific Palisades blocked Pacific Coast Highway near Santa Monica, isolating 154 families in Palisades Trailer Row. A new slide formed a second barrier north of the site, using 350,000 tons of rain-soaked cliff to seal the road and threaten nearby Bay Club facilities. Public Works plans a four-lane highway around the slide area, with negotiations underway for right of way.
