Welcome to Palm Springs

We here in the El Rancho Vista Estates got a letter from the Dept of Public Works announcing the city's plan to develop the vacant land at the southwest corner of Vista Chino and Gene Autry. As previously reported here, included in the plans are a bocce ball court. Woo woo. But also included in the plan is a welcome sign. In the letter, the city planners invite us to stop by City Hall from 2-5pm on Friday, January 11 in the large conference room and see what is being planned. Plans will be on view and allegedly City staff will be there to explain plans and answer questions. I think I'm gonna take that Friday off to be there and ask that the city PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me (and by association, us) back my old Welcome to Palm Springs sign, shown here. Tackytacky Mountain Gate can HAVE that new sign, and we can have the importantly groovy old sign. According to an article in the P-E, the old sign has been saved. If you would like to pursue this acquisition, please call or e-mail the city personnel who have signed the letter regarding the park: Lee Husfeldt, Director of Neighborhood and community Relations: 760-323-8255 Lee.Husfeldt@palmspring-ca.gov and/or Marcus Fuller, Assistant Director of Public Works/Assistant City Engineer: 760-323-8253 x 8744 Marcus.Fuller@palmsprings-ca.gov. What do the rest of you East-enders think?
