The San Pablo Avenue Corridor is set for a transformational change to facilitate the development of a “City Center” for the City of Palm Desert. As part of the City’s recent General Plan update this 1-mile corridor, which connects Magnesia Falls in the north to El Paseo in the south, is set for a complete street design that will reduce a vehicle lane in each direction, install round-a-bouts at key intersections, expand on-street parking, provide expansive bicycle lanes and pedestrian sidewalks, and add street trees and textural elements to create a true sense of place.
