Despite ongoing cleanup and restoration efforts following the Palisades Fire, a portion of the Pacific Coast Highway reopened Sunday to traffic.

Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Palisades neighborhood are reopening to the public this weekend despite concerns from some local residents and officials who fear it's too soon to allow wide access to the fire-damaged area.

After Pacific Palisades residents expressed concerns that their neighborhoods will be open to the public, Mayor Karen Bass on Saturday announced that law enforcement checkpoints will remain in place.
