DANA POINT
The city has begun the process of formally requesting the state Department of Transportation to relinquish the portions of Pacific Coast Highway and Del Prado that fall within the city.
The City Council voted 4 to 1 recently to ask Caltrans for control over those portions of the state highway. Councilwoman Ruby Netzley dissented.
Since the city has made a number of improvements to those streets and had to acquire a Caltrans permit to do so, the department offered to give Dana Point jurisdiction over those roads to make future improvements easier.
