Document Description
This proposed project consists of widening Portola Avenue and improving the intersection at Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive, two major urban arterials in the City of Palm Desert. This project will widen Portola Avenue, and improve the intersection at Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive for traffic flow, pedestrian access, safety, and aesthetics. These improvements will bring the intersection to an acceptable level of service, and support the City's traffic vision for 2020 and described in the City's General Plan. The project will require right-of-way (ROW) acquisition along the east and west side of Portola Avenue south of Frank Sinatra Drive, the east side of Portola Avenue, and the north side of Frank Sinatra Drive east of Portola Avenue. The necessary land acquisition includes ~2.7 acres of ROW and an additional 3.0 acres for retention basin.
