Document Description: The project is located in the Coachella Valley and extends 49+/- miles across 8 municipalities, unincorporated county lands, and reservation land of 3 Native American tribes. All alignments analyzed total 64.34+/- miles in length. The estimated cost of the project is $100 million. Currently the project area lacks multi-modal connectivity throughout the valley and access between such uses as home, school, recreation, employment, and commercial services. The purpose of the project is to address this lack of integrated multi-modal access throughout the valley and enhance the active transportation network from the city of Palm Springs to the city of Coachella. Generally, it will feature a broad paved path for LSEVs and bicycles, and softer-surface narrower paths for pedestrians. The path is primarily atop the levees of the region's principal watercourses.
