City of Palm Springs Pedestrian Plan

The City of Palm Springs worked with a consultant over an 18 month period to develop a Pedestrian Plan. The Palm Springs Pedestrian Plan is a roadmap that lays the foundation for pedestrian improvements within the public right-of-way in the City of Palm Springs, California. The Plan provides strategies and recommendations that aim to address four overarching priorities:

• Create safer streets for pedestrian travel
• Develop new routes for Palm Springs community members to walk to local and regional destinations which include the downtown area, resort areas, schools and transit nodes
• Improve public health

The Plan also serves as an important tool for the City to seek funding for pedestrian improvements. To assist with this goal, the Plan also includes components that are commonly needed in the pursuit of grant funding. This includes documentation of the community engagement efforts that were undertaken as a part of the planning process, summaries of existing conditions analyses, and strategies to fund proposed recommendations.
