[Foothill Cycle Club: 2032] PV road conditions

FCC members, Our summer rides typically include Palos Verdes (PV) to escape the hot daytime summer weather in San Gabriel Valley. As noted below, as of June 18th bicyclists are prohibited from using Valos Verdes Drive South. Looking at the ride schedule ( http://foothill.coxintl.com ), we have a PV ride that travels along this section . We'll need to re-route the ride or substitute an alternate ride. If anyone has updated information on the status of the road, please let me know. During its June 18 meeting, the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council voted unanimously to prohibit bicyclists and motorcyclists from using Palos Verdes Drive South, between Narcissa Drive and Peppertree Drive. The ban came following  a staff report  detailing how fissures, dips and bumps are continuously forming on the road as the rate of land movement accelerates, creating hazardous conditions. https://www.sfgate.com/travel/article/coastal-calif-city-approves-ban-ski-jump-road-19524043.php Brian Cox brian@cox...
