Left Turn Pocket Concept Exhibit
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, authorize staff to prepare bid documents and solicit
bids from qualified contractors to construct a left turn pocket on Magnesia
Falls Drive at the Aquatic Center driveway.
Funding to bid and construct this project is available in Aquatic Center Capital
Improvements, Account No. 242-454-9454-4001.
Background
Currently the only access to the Palm Desert Aquatic Center is provided via eastbound
Magnesia Falls Drive. Westbound traffic on Magnesia Falls Drive must make a tight U-
turn at San Pablo Avenue to reach the Aquatic Center. Construction of a left turn pocket
on Magnesia Falls Drive at the driveway will improve access to the Aquatic Center.
Staff has prepared a Street Improvement Plan for construction of the left turn pocket.
Preparation of formal bid documents and project advertisement is still needed in order
solicit bids to construct the improvements. The estimated cost to construct the turn
pocket improvements as proposed is $75,000.
