    • Wayne, Caltrans engineers don’t share that info with me, the PIO, or probably anyone but other engineers until it is a given and with this slide, nothing is a given. They have had to pivot already a couple times.

  • It looks like progress to me, but my understanding of the geology and physics is amateurish at best. As many have written, keeping a road open in that area is hardly a precise engineering exercise. I only hope that something useful for some years can be accomplished for the local residents. Us tourists can wait.

  • Looks like a road for the locals! I like you're thinking Bill Stoops, would you please join the Board of Cal Trans so they can consider the locals???

  • I wonder if there’s a future plan to go up and above the slide and away from the ocean and current road… would that even be feasible?
