Some Palm Springs residents are raising concerns about the College of the Desert campus currently under construction, pointing to potential traffic, parking and neighborhood impacts.The new campus is being built near Feral Drive and Baristo Road on the site of the former Palm Springs mall.Palm Springs resident Mark Tursi said he is concerned about how the development will affect the character of the surrounding community.“Palm Springs, as I know it for over 40 years, has always been the concept of tranquility,” Tursi said.Tursi said the scale of the project could create additional traffic in an area he believes is not designed to handle a large increase in vehicles.“These are not boulevards.

But he said the line should be drawn when volunteers begin trying to determine whether someone is actually disabled.“I think the line should be when you start investigating the person,” Jerry said.He expressed concern that volunteers could become overly focused on catching people or judging whether someone has a disability.Stephanie Minor, who works in the nonprofit world, said she supports volunteerism but worries about giving volunteers too much authority.“I do not want a Batman parking volunteer,” Stephanie said. “I love
