Thousand Palms Channel Improvement Project

Thousand Palms Channel Improvement Project

The Project is located along the Thousand Palms Channel from the Coachella Canal to its confluence with the Coachella Valley Storm Channel in the City of Indio. The nearest cross streets are Avenue 42 and Madison Street. The Project would include constructing the last conveyance facility intended to receive regional flood flows from the North Indio Hills and Thousand Palms areas. To this point, the Project would improve the Thousand Palms Channel from the Sun City Shadow Hills development located north of Madison Street to the confluence with the Coachella Valley Storm Channel. The Project would improve approximately 5,750 feet of the existing Thousand Palms Channel. The Project would improve the existing earthen Thousand Palms Channel with concrete sidewalls, improve the Avenue 42 channel crossing with 10 side-by-side 14-foot by 9-foot box culverts as a single structure to allow stormwater flows underneath the roadway and limit overtopping, as well as improve the roadways of Avenue 42 and Madison Street where the channel crosses these roadways. Improvements to the roadways include vertical profile changes, repaving, shoulder improvements, and drainage improvements, among others.
