CVAG hold Health Impact Assessment meetings regarding CV Link

The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) in partnership with the Riverside County Department of Public Health and the Southern California Association of Governments are conducting a Health Impact Assessment of the CV Link project and will hold a series of public workshops starting next week to discuss how the CV Link design can be improved to promote community cohesion and identity, increase physical activity, improve transportation access, increase economic development and contribute to better air quality.

The first workshop will take place on October 28th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the College of the Desert Cravens Student Services Center located at 43-500 Monterey Avenue, Palm Desert, CA 92260. The workshop is free to the public and all Coachella Valley residents, employees, business owners, government officials and advocates are encouraged to attend and share their ideas. No prior knowledge of CV Link or community health is required. The workshop will be bilingual in English and Spanish and a light dinner will be served.

The second workshop will take place on November 12th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Bobby Drake Middle School Cafeteria located at 85358 Bagdad Street, Coachella, CA 92236.
