Document Description
Fred Waring Drive is an east/west arterial street in the City of Palm Desert. It is classified as an arterial from Highway 111 to Washington Street. The proposed project includes widening of existing roadway from four six travel lanes, plus raised median islands and meandering sidewalks. The project limits are San Pasqual Avenue on the west and Deep Canyon Road on the east, for a distance of 0.76 miles. The proposed improvements would require additional right-of-way and result in displacement of existing land uses including single family and multi-family residential uses. In general, the project would improve east-west access and traffic flow within and through the City of Palm Desert. This project is one of several roadway improvement projects being pursued in the City.
