As someone whose been traversing Palm since I was a kid, this wall does assist the primary problem which is a sand "white out" that very spot. But more needs to be done, planting of much more foliage and trees with a watering system would help. I am disappointed in this coverage, the wall is good!

Took an embarrassing long time to construct for such a pitiful result, does not help whatsoever for the continued issue of keeping the corridor open.

Money wasted; no change in road closures.The very next day after the wall was built, was a sandstorm & Gene Autry Rd was closed. The problem is further down the road…there’s no visibility, plus sand builds up causing the Gene Autry Rd closure, regardless of the new wall being built! -M McCarthy

I've lived here since 1961 and it's never been this bad...They took down the Tamarisk trees which helped and use to remove the sand.
