This summer, the City of Palm Desert is giving El Paseo a fresh new look — with upgrades
designed to make the street smoother, safer, and even more enjoyable for visitors. The project
includes full roadway resurfacing, removal of storm gutters for a more comfortable drive, and
the addition of three beautiful raised mid-block crosswalks to enhance pedestrian safety.
Two-way traffic is flowing, sidewalks are accessible, and there’s plenty of convenient parking
behind the shops. While traffic patterns may shift near work zones, it’s still easy to explore
everything El Paseo has to offer.
The work is being completed in five carefully planned phases and is expected to wrap up by late
September. In the meantime, we invite you to continue shopping, dining, and enjoying El Paseo
— and experience all the exciting improvements as they take shape.

A street repaving and pedestrian safety project is underway along El Paseo, from
Highway 74 east to Highway 111. While crews work to improve the roadway, all
shops and restaurants remain open, and two-way traffic is being maintained.
Please follow posted signs and allow extra time, as traffic patterns may shift near
active construction zones. This work is scheduled to be completed by the end of
September and will result in a smoother, safer, and more welcoming El Paseo for
everyone.
Thank you for your patience — and for continuing to support local businesses
during construction.
