Public Comment for PSP Airport Master Plan Hearing 02/28/2023
As a year-round resident of Palm springs since July 2002, I respond having benefitted from PSP for
business and vacation travel since relocating from Chicago. Furthermore, my husband and I live
nearby (The Palms condo complex) and often walk to the airport on travel days. I have two requests
for your consideration.
1. Please provide more direct, safe, and convenient pedestrian sidewalk access to the terminal.
The problem is, when walking to PSP from the south on El Cielo Road, the most direct route
requires navigating Kirk Douglas Way pavement amidst vehicular traffic for about a block
between the sidewalk available on El Cielo and airport property. Installing a sidewalk along
Kirk Douglas Way will eliminate pedestrian risks and inconvenience.
2. Please install xeriscape to replace the grass lawns on most of the PSP property. Maintaining
limited areas of “desert oasis” impression seems fine for marketing purposes, but embracing
the reality of our beautiful desert environment is a superior goal. Additionally, with careful
planning the property may demonstrate best practices with native area plants and soil types --
also a preferred goal.
Thank you very much for your kind consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
signed
