Walk Audit Summary | Washington Street / Avenue of the States
Audit Date: Wednesday, May 1, 2024
Audit Time: 10:30 - 11:30 AM
Participants: 2
Key Destinations:
»Joe Mann Park
»Palm Desert Country Club
»Plaza De Hacienda
»Washington Square
Key issues identified during the walk audit:
»High speeds, heavy vehicular traffic,
and little shade along Washington Street
contributes to an unpleasant walking
environment, especially in warmer
weather.
»The shared sidewalk along Hovley
Lane can be used by pedestrians,
bicyclists, and golf carts but is not wide
enough to accommodate comfortable
shared use. A sidewalk does not exist on
the north side of the street.
»Cars were parked on the residential
sidewalks inhibiting access, particularly
for users of mobility devices.
»Most intersections in the residential
area lack marked crosswalks.
Wide intersections, high vehicular speeds,
and little shade create an unpleasant walking
environment along Washington Street.
The shared sidewalk on the south side of
Hovley Lane does not have enough space for
users to comfortably pass each other.
Rounded curbs lessen the division between
spaces for pedestrians and cars in residential
areas.
High visibility crosswalks, pedestrian refuge
islands, Class III bicycle sharrows, and a
roundabout were recently installed at California
Drive/Michigan Drive and Avenue of the States.

Walk Audit Summary | The Joslyn Center
Audit Date: Friday, May 3, 2024
Audit Time: 9:30 - 10:30 AM
Participants: 9
Key Destinations:
»Palm Desert Civic Center
»Palma Village Park
»The Joslyn Center
Key issues identified during the walk audit:
»Participants requested traffic calming
along Catalina Way. Catalina Way
is used by drivers as an alternate to
Highway 111 during morning and evening
rush hour, creating increased traffic
speeds and volume.
»Many residential streets lack
sidewalks and marked crosswalks.
Participants also mentioned inadequate
street lighting that makes visibility difficult
in the evenings.
»Participants stated cars often speed
around corners and cut them off as they
are crossing an intersection, particularly
along nearby Highway 111.
Gaps in the sidewalk network and inadequate street lighting makes walking uncomfortable,
especially at night.
The Joslyn Center is located on Catalina Way,
a wide, two-lane residential street that lacks
marked crosswalks and bicycle facilities.
Creative and high visibility crosswalks,
pedestrian islands, Class IIB buffered bike lanes,
and pedestrian and bicycle amenities including
benches, bike racks, and trash cans were
recently installed along San Pablo Avenue.
