Enrollment: 834 Students
District: Desert Sands Unified School
District
Participants: 4
Key issues identified during the walk audit:
»Participants stated that the main issue
is the conflict point at the entrance to the
school’s parking lot next to the residential
roundabout. The assistant principal
stated students walking from the adjacent
residential complex must navigate through
large vehicles and heavy traffic while
crossing onto school property.
»The assistant principal stated park
visitors speed through the parking lot that
is shared with the school and Freedom
Park.
»During drop-off and pick-up, traffic
often backs up along Liberty Drive and
into Country Club Drive, a high-speed
arterial. This is worsened by cars parked
along the curb on Liberty Drive, which is
legally permitted.

Key issues identified during the walk audit:
»The principal would like the existing
crosswalk on Warner Trail and Evening Star
Circle removed or upgraded to a raised
crosswalk with RRFBs or pedestrian hybrid
beacons. He stated it is currently difficult for
students to use due to speeding drivers along
Warner Trail.
»The existing bus stop location on Fred
Waring Drive east of Warner Trail creates a
challenging situation when buses stop in the
travel lane to load/unload. Cars turning right
onto Fred Waring Drive quickly speed up to
match traffic speeds unaware that a bus is
stopped in the lane they are turning into and
must quickly change lanes or brake.
»Posted signage indicates bicycles are
banned on sidewalks along Fred Waring
Drive. Traffic speeds and volumes create
stressful conditions for on-street bicyclists.
»Sidewalks terminate on Fred Waring
Drive just east of the school.
Walk Audit Summary | Gerald R. Ford Elementary School*
Audit Date: Wednesday, April 17, 2024
Audit Time: 9:00 - 10:00 AM

Participants: 6
Key issues identified during the walk audit:
»Many streets near the school lack
sidewalks. Participants specifically
requested sidewalks along Fairway Drive.
»Many families cross Chicory Street
midblock due to no sidewalks along the
north side of the street leading to the
crosswalk at Chicory Street and Shadow
Mountain Drive.
»Participants feel uncomfortable
walking along Portola Avenue due to high
vehicular speeds and narrow sidewalks,
especially near Portola Avenue and
Fairway Drive.
»During drop-off and pick-up,
congestion spills out of the parking lot
into Chicory Street and Portola Avenue.
Drivers also idle along the red curb on
Portola Avenue even when Chicory Street
is free of traffic.
Walk Audit Summary | George Washington Charter School
Audit Date: Tuesday, April 30, 2024
Audit Time: 8:30 - 9:30 AM
A Crossing Guard assists with morning drop-
off at the crosswalk at Chicory Street and
Shadow Mountain Drive.
Narrow sidewalks along Portola Avenue,
a high-speed arterial, foster an unpleasant
walking environment.
Drivers parked along a red curb on Portola
Avenue waiting to drop off students.
Parents and students were seen crossing
midblock along Chicory Street.
School Address: 45-768 Portola Avenue, Palm Desert

Walk Audit Summary | Palm Desert High School*
Audit Date: Thursday, April 18, 2024
Audit Time: 8:30 - 9:30 AM
School Address: 74-910 Aztec Road, Palm Desert
PALM DESERT64SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL
Enrollment: 2,050 Students
District: Desert Sands Unified School
District
Participants: 6
Key issues identified during the walk audit:
»Drivers speed along Cook Street.
Northbound and southbound traffic
approach Aztec Lane on a decline,
fostering high-speed conditions around
the school.
»Drivers wait for students in the
northbound right-turn lane at Cook Street
and Aztec Lane rather than continuing
into the school’s parking lot. This results
in congestion and erratic maneuvers by
drivers trying to enter the parking lot.
»The school resource officer requested
bollards, gates, or a similar barrier
between the publicly accessible CV Link
bike path and the school’s rear parking
lot.
Morning drop-off occurs in three travel lanes
and one parking lane.
Speeding is a concern along Cook Street near
the entrance to the school.
The school resource officer requested a barrier
between the public CV Link bike path and the
school’s rear parking lot.
On-campus bike parking near the front of the
school.
*PDHS is developing a traffic circulation study. Recommendations from the circulation study should be coordinated with SRTS recommendations that pertain to PDHS.
