A Pacific Palisades Community Council special meeting will be held in conjunction with Councilmember Traci Park at 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 7.
Park will lead this Zoom meeting that will introduce global infrastructure consulting firm AECOM, which has been tasked by Mayor Karen Bass to develop a long-term rebuilding plan for the Palisades). There will also be a presentation by AECOM representatives, who will answer community questions.
On June 6, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass announced that AECOM has been selected to expand its scope to support a number of long-term components of the City’s recovery effort in the Pacific Palisades. Then she said, “AECOM’s expertise in long-term infrastructure planning and design will only further expedite our work to get families home.”
She noted then that AECOM would develop:
- A comprehensive rebuilding master plan that is informed by the community.
- An infrastructure reconstruction plan for the phased deployment of all utilities above and below ground, in tandem with widespread commercial and residential construction.
- A logistics plan for materials management in coordination with local builders and suppliers.
- A master traffic plan to manage an increased number of builders, trucks, construction materials, and other activity as more and more property owners begin the rebuilding process.
One would hope AECOM would also have plans for safer and smoother evacuations in the future, which may or may not depend on density.
One would hope they would have plans in place for upgrading streets, which were destroyed during debris removal.
Park will also present her Vision Plan for long-term Palisades recovery, along with remarks and answers to questions on SB 9 matters.

When will the Mayor release a report describing where is the failure analysis for the Palisades fire?
