Highway 1 and Pedro Point Headlands wildfire resiliency work
Summary
Two projects will thin flammable eucalyptus and remove hazard trees along Highway 1 and behind Pedro Point homes starting this fall, to protect the town's main evacuation route. Expect coastal trail closures and one-way traffic during the work. Residents pressed for similar treatment further north on Highway 1, where vegetation encroaches on the roadway.
