centuries, communities spanning the globe have found
various ways to honor nature and the environment. Join
City representatives for a new tree planting in celebration
of Arbor Day on the City Hall campus. The tree and care
are donated by Bennett Landscape.

SADDLEBACK ROAD SINKHOLE UPDATE!
On March 5, 2024, the RHCA made the City aware of a
sinkhole on the south side of Saddleback Road. While the
original opening was small, the hole itself was 15-20' deep
and more than 10' wide so the road was closed
immediately. The sinkhole has continued to grow in size
and across the road. The RHCA is working with civil and
geotechnical engineers to locate the cause and prepare
a plan for repair.
NARBONNE AVE. ANTICIPATED ROAD WORK
The City of Lomita will be installing a new 8-inch water
main and rehabilitating Narbonne Avenue between PCH
and Palos Verdes Drive North. Work will start in late-Spring
or early Summer 2024 and will last 3-4 months. Expect lane
closures and delays.
RHCA ASSESMENT DUES – 2ND INSTALLMENT
Due on Monday, April 10, 2024
You may mail your payment or drop off your payment at
the RHCA Office. If you drop off payment after office
hours, you may leave your payment inside the RHCA
secure lock Mail Box right outside the office. The RHCA
Office will be sure to mail back your stamp paid receipt.
AVOID THE WAIT, USE THE CREST GATE!
The Main Gate processes 50%-60% more guests than the
Crest or Eastfield gates and gets most of the large trucks
and first-time visitors which also slows the entry process
down creating backup traffic. Please let your guests and
workers know that they may be able to gain entry quicker
by using the Crest Gate. Crest has the least traffic in the
morning and lines are virtually non-existent. This will relieve
the congestion at the Main Gate.
TRAIL CLOSURES
The following trails are closed due to unsafe conditions or
are impassible: Bent Springs, Georgeff Trail, Glory Trail,
Lower Johns Canyon Trail & Lower Willow Trail
