RULES OF THE ROAD
CV Link is designed with sufficient width for bicycles and LSEVs to share the paved pathway. In most areas of the link, there is a separate decomposed granite pathway for pedestrians. Like roadways, CV Link users should stay to the right unless you encounter an obstacle, pass other users with care and courtesy, and observe the 20 miles per hour speed limit. Pet owners, please keep your pets on leash when using the CV Link. Please view our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page for additional rules and tips.
HOURS OF OPERATION & DESIGN FEATURES
CV Link is open for use day or night. Amenities include shade structures, water stations, benches, bike racks, wayfinding signs, and solar powered LED lights along the pathway and at access points. Restroom facilities are available at many of the parks along CV Link that include the Palm Springs Visitors Center, Esperanza Park, Bump and Grind Access Point, Palm Desert Civic Park, North Jackson Park, and Sierra Vista Park.
