HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—The Huntington Beach City Council is considering taking control of a section of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) from the state in an effort to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety.
In a recent strategic planning presentation for the city, councilmembers said they were interested in conducting a feasibility study regarding the relinquishment of PCH between Beach Boulevard and Goldenwest Street, a process where the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) gives up its authority to the city on a certain highway.
