The Arts and Music Line Project highlights WEBB’s expertise in delivering transportation infrastructure that prioritizes safety, accessibility, and multimodal connectivity.
In partnership with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), WEBB is advancing approximately 15 miles of low-stress bikeways and shared-use paths connecting Coachella, Indio, and La Quinta. The corridor will improve access to schools, neighborhoods, employment centers, CV Link, transit services, and the Coachella and Stagecoach festival grounds while supporting safer, convenient walking and bicycling throughout the Coachella Valley.
WEBB has supported the project from corridor planning and ATP funding strategy through environmental clearance, design, utility coordination, and final engineering. Improvements include protected intersections, separated bikeways, protected bicycle signal phasing, enhanced pedestrian crossings, traffic calming measures, decorative paving, and grade-separated crossings that improve safety and network connectivity.
A defining feature is the integration of public art, placemaking, and immersive lighting. To align the corridor with CV Link and reflect the Coachella Valley’s arts and music culture, WEBB collaborated with artist Cristopher Cichocki to help shape the project vision. Planned features include lighting installations, color-changing architectural elements, gateway treatments, decorative pavement patterns, and design features that enhance cultural identity, recreation, tourism, social interaction, and visibility.
WEBB helped secure approximately $36 million in Active Transportation Program funding, making the Arts and Music Line one of the largest active transportation investments in the Coachella Valley. WEBB additionally prepared the Active Transportation Design Guidelines for Coachella Valley cities, establishing a framework for future multimodal improvements across multiple jurisdictions.
The Arts and Music Line reflects WEBB’s commitment to delivering mobility solutions that combine safety, sustainability, placemaking, and cultural expression to create connected communities.
