The Twentynine Palms City Council held its’ fourth and final public hearing last night on the matter of a new district map. After hearing from several residents to consider Public Map 2, the council approved the ‘Orange’ map, created by the National Demographics Corporation (NDC) hired by the city for these state-mandated changes. The new map will take effect on April 17.
Tapping into funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the council also approved the expenditure of $110,000 for the construction of the Amboy Bike Path. Scheduled two years ago, the project was delayed due to the pandemic. The Type 2 bike path – meaning it abuts the roadway with travel in both directions separated by striping – will begin at Utah Trail and end at Sunmore Parkway. The path should be completed in less than a week.
