Tahquitz Creek trails approved for major landscape upgrades

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) — Tahquitz Creek tails are set to get major landscaping upgrades with hundreds of trees, plans and more. The Palm Springs City Council approved plans for $690,000 in upgrades, a project that’s been in the works since the master plan was approved in 2010.

The fresh landscape will be planted along the wash, between South Sunset Way and South Palm Canyon Drive. The project funding comes from Measure J tax, specifically coming from the tax portion dedicated to projects originating from local community groups.
