Indio, Goldenvoice Ease Coachella Traffic Woes

Coachella Weekend 2 is in full swing with tens of thousands flooding the Coachella Valley.
NBC Palm Springs' Brett Rosen was live from Indio at Center Stage.
Despite some wind, spirits remain high as Friday night kicked off.
Rosen caught up with the Mayor of Indio to talk about traffic improvements.
The mayor explained that over 100,000 people pack into a one-square-mile area.
Last weekend’s gridlock was due to a nonstop stream of incoming vehicles.
Without the usual traffic lull, roads got backed up quickly.
Safety checks also slowed down the process, affecting residents nearby.
In response, Indio and Goldenvoice collaborated on a traffic fix.
They added 12 new car entry stalls at Madison and 50th.
Campers say this weekend’s entry was much smoother and faster.
Officials now feel ready as Stagecoach approaches next weekend.
