Document Description
The project is located in the northern part of the City of Palm Springs, Riverside County, CA along Indian Canyon Drive extending from Tramview Road to the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge, with widening terminating at Palm Springs Station Road. The project covers a distance of 1.9 miles (3.05 km). Within the limits of the proposed project, Indian Canyon Drive is a conventional undivided 2 lane road with a total current width of 38 ft (11.6 m). The project would construct four 12 ft lanes, a 4 ft (1.2 m) median, and 8 ft (2.4 m) shoulders. Additional right-of-way is required.
The project also proposes to employ an ~5 acre temporary staging area located on the southern end of the project area on undeveloped BLM property west of the roadway.
The project proposal consists of one feasible build alternative for widening and improving this section of Indian Canyon Drive and 2 alternatives that were eliminated during the scoping process. Major criteria used for alternative evaluation include comparison of project cost, utility relocations, traffic data, and specific environmental impacts. Environmental review must also consider the effects of not implementing the proposed project as a No Build Alternative. The following section, therefore, describe the feasible Build Alternative, the No Build Alternative, and the 2 alternatives considered but eliminated from further discussion.
