Patton Park parking and traffic safety
Commissioner Hernandez flagged parking shortages at Patton Park that push cars into a dirt lot across Avenue 43, where children cross amid fast traffic. Speed bumps were raised as a possible fix despite being unpopular.
Homelessness and safety at Miles and Dr. Carreon parks
An Indio police officer told commissioners he's assigned daily to homelessness, drug, and safety issues at Miles Park and Dr. Carreon Park, hears directly from residents, and invited commissioners on ride-alongs. A downtown police team is expected that will likely cover Miles Park.
