Twentynine Palms Affordable Housing and Complete Streets Project

The Twentynine Palms Affordable Housing and Complete Streets Project is a forecast initiative managed by the City of Twentynine Palms in California. The project focuses on enhancing existing roadways to better connect a proposed affordable housing development with public amenities, transit, and existing pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure. Key infrastructure improvements include the implementation of complete streets elements, such as pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, signalized pedestrian crossings, and traffic calming measures. The specific areas of performance include Adobe Road to Civic Center Lane/Smoketree Avenue and El Paseo Drive starting from Smoketree Avenue. Under the leadership of Community Development Director Keith Gardner, the project is classified under NAICS code 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction. It is categorized as a repair of existing public structures with negligible expansion, making it categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Class 1 guidelines. The primary beneficiaries of these improvements are the residents and users of the roadway within the adjacent community.
