Road Closures, Tax Help, and Bluff Monitoring Lead Today’s RPV Update

Palos Verdes Drive South Overnight Closures Ahead

Drivers in Rancho Palos Verdes are being asked to plan ahead as Palos Verdes Drive South will be fully closed overnight for three consecutive nights, February 11 through February 13. The closures affect the long-standing landslide area and are part of ongoing safety and infrastructure work.

City officials say the overnight timing is meant to minimize daytime disruption while allowing crews to safely monitor conditions and make necessary adjustments in a sensitive area. Residents who regularly travel the coastal route should expect detours during evening and early morning hours.

Free Tax Preparation Help Available Today

Residents looking for help with their taxes can stop by Hesse Park today for free federal and state tax preparation services. The program is aimed at low- to moderate-income taxpayers and is part of a recurring winter service offered in the city.

Appointments and walk-ins are being accommodated as space allows, and organizers recommend bringing all relevant tax documents. Additional sessions are scheduled later this month for those unable to attend today.

City Continues Close Watch on Coastal Bluffs

The city remains in active monitoring mode along Rancho Palos Verdes’ coastal bluffs, areas that have seen ongoing land movement over the past year. While no new evacuations or emergency actions were announced this week, officials continue to stress caution near affected zones.

Geologists and city staff are tracking changes in soil movement and coordinating with regional agencies. Residents near known slide areas are encouraged to stay informed through city alerts and avoid restricted sections of trails and roadways.

Community Notes

City Hall offices remain open today with regular Friday hours, and upcoming meetings next week include Planning Commission and youth advisory sessions. As always, residents are encouraged to check official city updates for the latest information.
