The report details the factors that contributed to the slide, presents recommendations to improve the stability of the site and prevent future ground movement, and presents several long-term repair options for Paseo Del Mar.

We have no guarantees more slippage will not occur.
Graded roadway with a dip - however - WAIT at least 2 more years to "do" anything - we tend to be an impatient society and in this case - patience is - IMHO - essential.
Proceed with caution any more irrigation in the nature preserve.
Leave the nature preserve ALONE.
