On Wednesday evening, the City Council unanimously approved the Cathedral City 2040 General Plan and Active Transportation Plan.
The Cathedral City 2040 General Plan establishes appropriate goals, objectives, policies, programs and guidelines to address land use, housing, economic development, community health, community design, transportation and circulation, public facilities and services, recreation, safety, youth, education, and natural and cultural resources, environmental justice and other required and optional elements as required by the California General Plan Guidelines (2017). In addition to goals and policies, the General Plan includes issues discussions, factoids, diagrams and maps, tables and charts that provide direction for the prudent and conscientious management of existing and future development.
The Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is a part of the circulation element and implements pathway classifications for numerous streets in the City, assigning designations and providing improvement standards and guidelines that implement a Complete Streets program for the City. The ATP is designed to provide greater pedestrian, bicycle and neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) and other low speed electric vehicles (LSEV) access to the City roadway system and off-street network including the CV Link regional multi-modal pathway.
