Palm Desert Traffic Management Community Meetings

In case you missed our prior meetings, don't worry - we've got you covered! On October 5, 2023, the City of Palm Desert hosted a virtual community gathering that focused on a variety of traffic management initiatives in the South Palm Desert area, with a special emphasis on the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program and Haystack Road vicinity.

During this virtual meeting, the City presented vital information about forthcoming projects aimed at enhancing traffic management, ensuring residents' safety, and increasing convenience. The input and feedback from South Palm Desert residents were pivotal in shaping the success of these initiatives.

July 2024 Community Meetings Recap

In July 2024, the City held two community meetings to discuss the progress of the pilot speed cushion installations on New York Avenue and Bursera Way in South Palm Desert. These meetings held midway through the trial period, offered an opportunity for residents to provide feedback on the new traffic calming measures.

The feedback about the speed cushions has been largely positive, with many residents expressing satisfaction with their effectiveness in curbing speeding. Additional feedback has also been received via email, phone calls, and through the City’s online platform, www.engagepalmdesert.com.

We value all the input received thus far as we continue evaluating these measures to improve traffic conditions and enhance safety on residential streets. Please continue to share your feedback using the tools at the bottom of this page.
