Conflicting word this morning … on what exactly is going to happen on Latigo Canyon Road.
We do know this:
Southern California Edison plans to be using a crane and other heavy equipment on Latigo Canyon Road … blocking lanes … from 9 this morning until 6 tonight.
The county highway department says one lane will be open … the city of Malibu send out a press release last night that says the entire road will be closed.
The project is planned for Latigo Canyon Road between Ocean View Drive and Calicut Road.
This poses a dilemma for the several dozen houses in upper Latigo Canyon … there’s no other way on or out of their neighborhood.
That’s because Latigo Canyon Road remains closed up at the top of the mountain … near Kanan Dume Road … six months after the Woolsey Fire.
Notice of the road closure or lane closure or whatever it is went out late yesterday afternoon.
Good luck to residence or work crews trying to get up Latigo Canyon today.
