SOUTH PALM CANYON FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT
With only 1-way in & 1-way out, South Palm Canyon Drive is our singular, vital connection during an emergency. The City knows South Palm Canyon Dr. at Bogert Trail has a high-risk flooding potential during an extreme storm event likely blocking access to our community extreme weather.
In July 2025, after an overwhelming outcry of support for this project from our community, the Council voted to move forward with the project bids and to update the environmental reports. HOWEVER, in August 2025, the Center for Biological Diversity sued the City claiming all of the lies spread by other conservation groups since 2018 that this project is not needed, is oversized, will ruin the canyon, etc. The City has vowed to fight the suit and move froward with protecting our community.
Please follow the developments we publish on this site, as your help and community action will be needed to combat the well-financed conservation groups battling this project.
