Can L Street be built?
Does Arcata have the property rights?
David Loya tells the story:
The pictures show the story:
You don’t even have to read the text.
From the Arcata GIS program. Red lines added for emphasis over the GIS property lines.
Shown in Yellow are stub of 13th Street that Arcata has a right of way for, and the north end of the L Street right of way.
The northern end of the L Street Pathway is City-owned property. The width is between 15 feet wide at the top (north) end, and tapering down to 4 feet wide where the path has to fit past the corner of the mini-storage property.
Close-up of the parcel lines. Unretouched, directly from the Arcata Geographic Information Systems website. The corner of the mini-storage property fence appears to be over the property line — this is because the satellite image is not take from a spot that’s 100% vertically overhead. so we’ll see a bit of the side of a building or, in this case, the corner of the fence looking to be past the property line.
Where the green lines are shows the areas that the City of Arcata would need to purchase from the two property owners. The unofficial “heard on the street” reports say that neither property owner is interested in selling.
At the center of the picture is the half-block stub that comes off of 12th Street — and ends.
