District funds committed to date:Purpose:
By 2025, pedestrians, bicyclists, and electric vehicle drivers will have a 14-foot-wide, 52-mile-long trail connecting them to all nine Coachella Valley cities. The link will run along Whitewater River, parallel to Highway 111. Portions of the trail are in place in Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City, Palm Springs, and Palm Desert; these portions will be widened in the next few years, and construction meeting national-standard sustainability goals will begin in 2015. The $70 million trail will showcase local history, public art, and Native American materials, and several electric-vehicle charging stations.
