Any future expense to support expansion of CVLink needs to be vetoed. The so called multi-use path is totally underused. A very very small percentage of the community uses the CVLink path. Rarely do you see any bikers or walkers using the path. Surrounding communities have rejected the concept so any pathway in Palm Desert will start no where and end no where.

I feel our streets and roads are by the far the best maintained in the country, and having been a corporate nomad living in 13 states and all major metro areas, trust me.

This fact, does allow for increased speeds and trying to "beat the lights". There have been several tragic accidents related to speeding - my 92 year old mother was struck driving across Portola and the Fred Waring intersection by a speeder running the traffic signal.

Would it be possible to install signage stating the traffic lights are timed to a certain speed on our major traffic arteries? Fred Waring, Country Club, et al. This would meter traffic in all lanes reducing speeding.

I would be happy to serve on a committee to investigate.

I love that Keedy's is still there. It was the place to eat and greet friends. Its a landmark still. I lived in Palm Desert from 1962 to 1990. I miss Palm Desert but I have to say that now there way too many people and traffic. But I go to visit my sister and my son who moved to North Shore because of the people and traffic.
