STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Consider Signalization of the Intersection of Fred Waring
Drive and Entrada Las Brisas/Southwest Community Church
Driveway
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., City Engineer
DATE: October 14, 2004
CONTENTS: Location Map
Recommendation:
Consider installation of a traffic signal at Fred Waring Drive and Entrada Las
Brisas/Southwest Community Church Driveway and direct staff accordingly.
Executive Summary:
Staff has received a series of requests for installation of a traffic signal at Fred
Waring Drive and Entrada Las Brisas/Southwest Community Church Driveway
since completion of the church project. Staff has studied the intersection and has
found that the intersection does meet warrants for installation of a traffic signal.
As part of Southwest Community Church's expansion project, installation of a
signal was planned at this intersection and the church had hired a consultant to
design the signal. However, the signal project stalled due to financial difficulties
at the church. The City of Indian Wells has authorized installation of a traffic
signal at this intersection and has included it in the Fred Waring Drive Widening
project. This will result in CVAG paying 75% of the cost for installation of a traffic
signal. It is our understanding that the remaining 25% of the cost will be borne by
either the City of Indian Wells or Southwest Community Church. Resulting in no
cost for construction to the City of Palm Desert.

Consideration of this traffic signal had been delayed due to Council's concerns
regarding installation of too many traffic signals on Fred Waring Drive. Now that
design of this phase of Fred Waring Drive widening has commenced, the time
has come to decide whether to authorize installation of a traffic signal at this
location or not.
Therefore, it is requested that City Council direct staff to the appropriate course
of action.
