Document Description
The City of Palm Springs proposes to widen Indian Canyon Drive for distance of ~1,219 meters (4,000 ft) south of its intersection with Garnet Avenue (south of I-10) in accordance with Caltrans and FHWA regulations and standards. The Indian Canyon Drive Bridge, which crosses over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, would be widened.
Indian Canyon Drive is currently a 2 lane road, except for that portion within ~122 meters (400 ft) of Garnet Avenue, where it widens to 4 lanes roadway south of Garnet Avenue. Indian Canyon Drive would be widened from its current width of 18 meters (60 ft) to 26 meters (86 ft), which would expand the road from 2 traffic lanes to 6 traffic lanes between Garnet Avenue and 61 meters (200 ft) north of the existing Indian Canyon Drive Bridge. The road would widened to 5 travel lanes (3 northbound and 2 southbound) from ~61 meters (200 ft) north if bridge to ~46 meters (150 ft) south of the bridge. The bridge would widened to accommodate the 3 new travel lanes. South of the bridge, the roadway would transition to 3 lanes for about 91 meters (300 ft). The southermost portion of the improved roadway would be 2 lanes, with new north- and south-turn pockets of Palm Springs Station Road.
