One Year After Tropical Storm Hilary, Panorama Neighborhood Road Repairs, Reconstruction Are Complete


The City Council of Cathedral City approved a notice of completion at the regular meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2024, for the pavement reconstruction and repairs on the Panorama Neighborhood streets impacted by Tropical Storm Hilary. The Public Works Department's announcement that street reconstruction in the area is now complete arrives within one year of the unprecedented weather event.
The City Council approved a construction contract on April 10, 2024, to Hardy & Harper, Inc. in the amount of $731,400 for these repairs. Work will continue along Date Palm Drive and Vista Chino in the affected areas as the City continues to collaborate with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
The following projects were completed as part of the pavement reconstruction:
  • Horizon Road from Vista Chino to Panorama Road
  • Los Gatos Road from Fortuna Way to Date Palm Drive
  • Panorama Road from Avenida Diosa to Avenida La Vista
  • East-West Alley from Horizon Road to Date Palm Drive
  • North-South Alley from Adelina Road to South end of Alley
The projects, which greatly improved accessibility and drivability, consisted of:
  • Installation of 152,800 square feet of asphalt
  • Reconstruction of curb and gutter on Horizon Road
  • Updated 5 curb ramps to current ADA Standards
  • Signing and striping
  • Coordination with CVWD - valves and manholes adjustments
  • Improved Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of residential streets from Poor to Very Good
On August 20, 2023, Tropical Storm Hilary struck Cathedral City, resulting in flooded roads, neighborhoods, and mud flows in various areas of Cathedral City. Runoff flood waters brought large amounts of sediment and debris, leaving many areas of the city flooded and covered in several feet of mud and debris.
The emergency work and clean-up efforts throughout the Panorama Neighborhood began on August 21, 2023, and was completed on March 20, 2024. Various contractors were hired to assist the city with the disaster recovery.
As a result of the emergency work, the pavement on several residential streets and public alleys within the Panorama neighborhood were affected due to the flooding, the mud flows, and the heavy equipment used during the clean-up efforts.
