REQUEST: Authorize the Striping of Golf Cart/ Bike Lanes on Country

SUBMITTED BY: Public Works Department

CONTENTS: Sample Letter to Affected Residents

Recommendation:
By minute motion, authorize the Public Works Department to stripe
golf cart/bike lanes on Country Club Drive between Monterey
Avenue and Cook Street.
Discussion:
It has been requested that City staff consider installing bike/golf cart lanes on
Country Club Drive between Monterey Avenue and Cook Street.
Country Club Drive is now fully improved to a divided four -lane arterial roadway
between Monterey Avenue and Cook Street. Golf cart/bike lane facilities along
this section of Country Club Drive are comprised of on -street striped lanes, off-
street shared sidewalk paths, and sections where golf cart/bike facilities are not
designated. The existing golf cart/bike lane facilities are depicted on the
attached exhibit.
The Public Works Department is requesting authorization to install on -street golf
cart/bike lanes on Country Club Drive between Monterey Avenue and Cook
Street. The primary purpose of installing the on -street lane is to standardize the
golf cart/bike facilities along Country Club Drive. The proposed lanes will be a
continuation of the existing on -street golf cart/bike lanes on Country Club Drive
east of Cook Street.
Installation of the on -street golf-cart/bike lanes will require the restriction of on -
street parking along Country Club Drive. Manor Care and the Desert Springs
Marriott Resort will be impacted the most by the loss of on -street parking.

Staff sent letters to adjacent property owners notifying them of the proposed golf
cart/bike lanes and requesting comments regarding the loss of on -street parking
along Country Club Drive. A copy of the letter is attached for reference. As of
August 10, 2005 staff had not received any comments from the property owners.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council, by minute motion, authorize the
Public Works Department to prepare Signing & Striping Plans, advertise, award
bid, and construct the on -street golf cart/bike lane on Country Club Drive
between Monterey Avenue and Cook Street. Estimated cost to construct the golf
cart/bike lane improvements is $20,000. Funds are available in the FY 2004-
2005 Traffic Safety budget, account number 110-4250-433-2145.

SUBJECT: Country Club Drive Bike Lane
Dear Resident:
lkoh
The City of Palm Desert is proposing to re -stripe Country Club Drive from east of Monterey

remove on -street (curb -side) parking along Country Club Drive within the project limits. The
attached Vicinity Map shows the project location.
The Public Works Department is requesting comments from residents and businesses affected
by the proposed bike lane along Country Club Drive. If you have any comments, questions or
concerns regarding the removal of on -street parking along Country Club Drive, please respond
