Caltrans cancels the planned 10-hour Saturday closure of Agoura Road near the wildlife crossing — but weekend work may still happen with advance notice. Weekday closures from 7 AM to 5 PM remain in effect through November 30, blocking all traffic between Rondell and Hydepark Drive. The project aims to reconnect mountain lion habitats split by the freeway, a major conservation win. Sunday’s construction won’t close Agoura Road or Liberty Canyon ramps, and detours via the 101 Freeway plus free 30-minute shuttles for pedestrians and cyclists are available during closures.

Cleanup Day at Santa Monica Beach | Venice Beach News
This Saturday, hundreds rally at Santa Monica State Beach for the 42nd annual Coastal Cleanup Day, diving underwater near the pier and scouring shores reshaped by Hurricane Marie’s storm surge. While the hurricane stripped sand and pushed tide inland, it also brought trash closer to shore—making cleanup more accessible before future storms carry it out to sea. Volunteers tackle everything from plastic bottles to toxic stormwater pollutants that threaten water quality and health. Across LA County, cleanups span beaches, rivers, and parks—with Bay Street Beach (“the Ink Well”), a historic African American gathering spot, among the key sites. Divers have even pulled up electric scooters from beneath the pier, revealing how much waste accumulates underwater. Though annual cleanup feels like a never-ending battle, organizers remain hopeful: targeted policies like plastic bag bans are showing real impact. Their ultimate goal? Reducing disposable culture—and they’re energized by community turnout pushing for lasting change.
