Currently our city has no sign indication on Hwy 111 for visitors entering from
other Coachella Valley cities other than a small state issued marker located next to
a Check Cashing sign. The former gateway monument/Welcome to Palm Springs was
removed and never replaced. There was an attempt to install a small sign placed
within a median that ended up causing multiple car accidents The sign and median
were removed. There is a bracket still in place along with electrical service on the side
of the highway that has been determined by the city as the most ideal location for a
new Welcome to Palm Springs sign. A PS Sign/Gateway Monument located on this
site could also be InstaGram worthy according to Gary Armstrong of the City’s Art
Commission. We are a world class city that is more than just a small state issued
sign, and this installation could reflect that pride in our city.
