RE: Coral Mountain Specific Plan
Dear Nicole,
The SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine) would like to thank you for the opportunity to review
and comment on the proposed Coral Mountain Specific Plan located on Avenue 58 and
Madison Street, within the City of La Quinta. SunLine staff has reviewed the specific plan
and offers the following comments:
SunLine currently does not provide direct transit service to the proposed project site;
however, the nearest service is Route 70 located approximately 6 miles northwest on
Washington St at Calle Tampico. Therefore, SunLine is not requesting the addition of
any transit amenities, such as a bus turnout and/or shelter as part of the proposed
development. We appreciate the chance to review future developments within the City
of La Quinta.
As the Coachella Valley continues to grow and based on further analyses, SunLine will
continue to monitor on -going developments and may provide transit service to the
proposed project in the future, if warranted. Should you have questions regarding this
letter please contact me at 760-343-3456 ext. 1442.
Sincere ,---
Todd McDaniel
