Alta worked with the City of Palm Springs to develop a master plan for the Tahquitz Creek Multi-use Trail System. The plan establishes new linkages for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians while seeking to restore and beautify the creek from its current channelized state. The design process included three key tasks: assessing opportunities and constraints, building community and stakeholder consensus around design concepts and permit approval processing. The plan draws from the area's rich historical, cultural and natural identity, with creative interpretive and design elements.
