Some Malibu West Park Critics Prepare Their Own Plan

BY ANNE SOBLE

As the Malibu Surfside News goes to press, a group of Malibu West residents announced they will hire a local architect to create an alternate Trancas Park design for possible consideration.
Lynn Norton told The News that several neighbors of the proposed park are hiring Ron Goldman to design another option because they “want to address the 77,000 cubic yards of grading, as well as some other design issues that still exist in the new plan.
“We want to be able to show the city council something that most people in the neighborhood will like, instead of only telling them what we don’t like.”
Norton added, “The neighborhood plan will show how a simple reduction in the size of the sport field, plus a creative design that utilizes the existing space well, will save significant money, time, and tens of thousands of cubic yards of grading.”
