Welcomebike ride at sunset

The City of Palm Desert is working on a project that will help identify gaps in the walking and bicycling network and will develop recommendations that would address the identified gaps.

This project will take ideas outlined in the General Plan and other City-adopted plans to create a more complete and well-connected network for people to walk and bike. While these documents will be used to set the standard for connectivity, this project will focus on new ways to form integrated connections and to reduce mobility barriers for people walking and biking within the pedestrian core of the City.


Phase One

The first phase of this project will close with a prioritized list of improvements, based on a variety of factors including community input. The second phase of the project will include the final engineering design and cost estimates for the highest priority projects. Ultimately, projects identified may become part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program or may be considered for grant funding in the future.


Chip In and Help Spot Gaps

Your input on this project is essential to its success. Two virtual meetings will be held at key decision points in the project and this website will be updated regularly. Please stay tuned for updates! The first workshop was held on November 22, 2021. Please scroll down to watch a video of this workshop introducing the project and providing information on the next steps.
