Carissa Nwene's Sidewalk

I haven't seen it mentioned yet in either the Desert Sun or Desert Local News that the new sidewalk on Palm Drive between Camino Aventura and Camino Campesino built in response to the hit and run death of Carissa Nwene has been complete for about two weeks. Maybe they talked about this at the city council meeting that I missed.

So I stopped there this morning to get a few photos. The complete set of photos is here, and these are some samples:

How many drivers actually observe this speed limit as they come into Desert Hot Springs? I try to get it down to 45 MPH, but there's always somebody behind me who wants to run right up my ass when I do that, so they pull around and pass.

Carissa's memorial which was moved further back from the road during sidewalk construction.
