In the image above, the red line signifies the proposed path of the CVLink through Coachella. The yellow bursts mark the points where community members would be able to access the trail.

Editor’s Note: The following video was produced in partnership with the Land Use Planning Awareness team, a community capacity building project designed to empower communities across the eastern Coachella Valley. Students from the LUPA project produced the video in preparation for a CVLink public workshop on March 19, 2015. CVLink is a proposed 50-mile active transportation trail that would stretch from Palm Springs/Desert Hot Springs to Coachella. For more information on the LUPA project and the NOVA Academy team visit their website.
