Message from the President:
A special PPCC meeting took place on October 30, 2025, featuring one significant topic — the Gladstones redevelopment project — with a presentation by the concessionaire/developer (PCH Beach Associates/Thomas Tellefsen). Representatives from the County (Beaches & Harbors and the Supervisor’s office) were also present. Slides were shown and numerous questions were asked and answered. See a recording of the presentation HERE. See the slide deck shown at the meeting HERE.
Our next meeting on November 13th will feature an announcement about the 2025 PPCC Awards Honorees, as well as a presentation by the Executive Director of the Rebuild Paradise Foundation. In addition, we’ll consider four new grant recommendations from the PPCC Grants Committee (see the grants reports HERE), as a well as a motion recommended by the Westside Regional Alliance of Councils (WRAC) to support an on-campus station at UCLA’s Gateway Plaza for Metro’s Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project (also supported by PPCC & WRAC).
Our last regular PPCC meeting on October 23, 2025, included an update from the BOE Bridge unit on the status of the pedestrian bridge over PCH, as well as a presentation from Palisades Friends and Newcomers. Recordings of their presentations are available HERE (Bridge) and HERE (Newcomers). The Board also approved three grants recommended by the Grants Committee (see grants reports linked above).
Stay tuned for details about the Holiday Awards Gala on December 11th, at Spruzzo Restaurant in the Palisades Highlands!
See you at the PPCC meetings!
Palisades Strong!
Sue Kohl
President
