Pacifica's City Manager announced state and federal assistance obtained to repair 12 sites.
"The total estimated cost of repairs for the 12 damaged sites is estimated at $3.6 million," Pacifica City Manager Lori Tinfow said.
The city qualifies for $1 million under the California Disaster Assistance Act. $2 million is being covered by insurance, and another $600,000 by the city.
"I'd like to thank all of our Pacifica City Staff for their hard work and long hours during these difficult times," Pacifica Mayor Mike O'Neill said.
A project needed to protect streets and utilities along 300 block of Esplanade Avenue is also being given favorable consideration for state funding from a separate program. Crews once again worked on a beach access path along Esplanade Avenue Wednesday that's been closed due to a large sinkhole.
Residents and officials recognize those repairs may not be permanent.
"These big waves that have been coming in just in the last two weeks have been pummeling the daylight out of them," Pacifica resident Mike Bell said.
"Mother nature will continue to challenge this beautiful coastal town," Speier said.
