Hello Council members and city staff,
I am requesting approval of the proposed Gateway Plan Advisory Committee to assist the city in planning the development of the Gateway area. It is important there is a citizen group involved to improve transparency, trust and community buy-in. This development will have a huge impact on Arcata, essentially doubling the year round population of people and cars. The city staff cannot begin to know or identify all the potential impacts of such a significant face-changing development, and the Gateway Plan Advisory Committee provides the citizens of Arcata a meaningful process by way to understand and participate. Thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
Ann Warner
Arcata, CA
