This weekend is reopened to the public, reopened to the public, an action in the rescue process, which has been praised by supporters, but is condemned by some locals and officials, fearing that it is yet to be allowed to access the area of the fire.
In the next three days, the California National Guard will quit all checkpoints in the Pacific policies, that is, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced on Friday afternoon with residents that the area closed in front of the neighborhood will be open for public access on Sunday morning.
Traffic is defined in each direction to allow the public to continue the repair work, which will be reopened to the public at 8 am on Sunday. California highway patrols will be in the hands of the public safety and transport.
Although there are no IT requirements for accessing on the highway, officials are only asking for the PCH to use the essential business in the area.
Although residents participating in the Webinar on Friday did not voice their opposition to the reopening of the PCH for the trip, they took the problem with the general public to return to the disaster areas of the policy fire-voicing concerns about pollution, public safety, robbery and appearance.
La City Councilor Transi Park, representing policies and many Westide neighborhoods; And Steve Soboff, To whom the bass appointed Two weeks ago, the city's chief rescue officer called on the two “premature” part.
“I do not accept the reopening of the Pacific policies to the public,” he said during the Park Webinar. “I don't personally think that we are ready everywhere.”
However, the Bass called an important step in the rebuilding process and assured residents that the Los Angeles Police Department to “use vision and strongly” in the area to prevent crimes.
LAPD President Jim McDonaldal He said that the city has been a tactical warning since the launch of the LA County Storm on January 7, and it is necessary to reopen the area. The department can spread the resources equally to other parts of the city, he said.
There are six supervisors and 66 officers in the area every 12 hours change.
McDonald said, “There will be police driving everywhere around the policade streets,” he said, “the question of balance” is the decision to reopen the area to the public.
McDonald said that the re-opening of the public will benefit the rescue process, because now only residents are allowed, “Not people who work in help-life facilities, House cleaners, support workers [or] Relatives. ”
But those promises did not confirm the concerns of residents or their city council member who had openly collided with the mayor during the Webinar.
When a commentator said that it was difficult to call 911 from some parts of the policies as the cell phone service was over, Park agreed his head during the meeting.
Sobofoff, who did not participate in the webinar, said he was not aware of the end of the bass until a Times reporter was asked about it. He thought that the presence of police and private security would help reduce the risk of crime, but there were deep concerns about the restoration of the area while hazardous waste was still being removed.
“I don't see the benefit of opening everything to everyone,” Sobofoff said Friday afternoon.
After the bass talks, the anger and dissatisfaction through the web -chat box are confused, where residents can ask questions. Dozens of people voiced their agreement with the park and feared that neighbors were reopening.
“I have a house. It is not safe by the front and rear doors. However, we are trying to protect it and we are trying to remove our belongings soon. How do I feel firm that our home and its contents are safe when the general public approaches it?”
“Why do we want people to wander into the remnants of our lives, post Instagram stories for their own gain, and express our grief? Please do not open the policies to the public; there is nothing to the public – no shops, restaurants,” he said.
Boss and law enforcement officials pointed out that other areas of fire damaged have been reopened without the incident.
“The remaining districts are already open – Topanga, Malibu, Altatena – those areas are open and open for a while,” the bass said.
Sue Cole, president of the Pacific Policy Social Council, said that he was only reopened by the web and agreed that it was very soon.
Many policy residents were unable to return to their surroundings to go through debris in their property, and she said, and she tells her, “We don't want to open it until we get a chance to go back.”
The government Gavin Newsom said that CHP officers will be stopped with PCH every half mile to protect motorists, transport flow and public security.
“Our priority is to ensure the safety of all who return to this community as the Pacific coastal highway is reopened,” he said in a statement that he ordered the national police to be waiting if any problems arise.
La County Supervisor La County Supervisor LA County, representing the area, said the County has worked with “diligence and all intentionally speed” to reopen the PCH safely.
“This is a step back to our rescue for communities with both policies and Franklin's fire,” he said in a statement Friday afternoon.
