The Phase 2 improvements are currently in construction. The City of Palm Desert identified the San Pablo Avenue corridor as a key area for transformation to create a downtown/city center. The City hosted public outreach events including “Vision San Pablo” and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive for the transformation of the San Pablo Avenue corridor. <br />Both phases propose a “road diet” to reduce the existing travel lanes of San Pablo Avenue from four to two between Highway 111 to Magnesia Fall Drive. The Project includes components such as roadway improvements, bike lanes, ADA curb ramps, bulb-outs, planter islands, drainage facilities, traffic signal improvements, expansion of street parking, landscaping, and artistic features. The goal of the project is to provide an attractive downtown corridor connecting pedestrians, motorist, and cyclist to residential neighborhoods, shopping and restaurants, Palm Desert City Hall, College of the Desert, and Civic Center Park. The design includes wide sidewalks with shade trees and street furniture, enhancements to the community gardens, parking improvements throughout the corridor, and construction of roundabouts at the San Gorgonio, College of the Desert driveway, and Magnesia Falls intersections. Both phases will add raised midblock crosswalks with in-pavement roadway warning lights to improve pedestrian safety. <br />Construction of Phase I completed in the summer of 2020 and includes improvements from Highway 111 to Fred Waring Drive along the San Pablo Avenue corridor. The Phase 1 corridor improvements provide pedestrians and cyclist with a fun and safe experience near shopping, restaurants, schools, and civic buildings. <br />Construction of Phase 2 began in Fall 2020 and includes improvements from Fred Waring Drive to Magnesia Falls Drive along the San Pablo Avenue corridor. The Phase 2 corridor improvements will have a similar feel to Phase 1 but will travel through the City offices and recreational space and the College of the Desert. The separated bike lanes will provide connectivity from south of Fred Waring Drive to the future CV Links project at Magnesia Falls. <br />City Council 16 –34 6/1/2021
