A partnership between the Coachella Valley Association of Governments and the Desert Recreation District to better maintain the Coachella Valley Link was in effect Monday.
The agreement, announced last Monday, tasks DRD attendants with keeping the 40-mile multi-use pathway clean and safe for pedestrians, cyclists and low-speed electric vehicles such as golf carts.
Attendants began work immediately after the partnership was announced, providing regular trash pickup along the trail, cleaning shade structures, water fountains and benches, and reporting graffiti or other issues to law enforcement when necessary.
“Our team is thrilled to partner with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments to help care for this amazing community amenity,” Interim General Manager at DRD Lindsay Woods
