Hello David,
I know that the Planning Commission has big tasks ahead in shaping these two efforts which will shape Arcata’s future. I want to pass on my hopes that you will work to prioritize safe streets in Arcata, streets safe enough that people can walk and ride bikes with a realistic expectation that they will get to their destinations safely. That is especially important on K St.
Most Arcata residents have at least some concern about the impacts of climate change. When we step out of our cars
and use our own energy to get around, we’re doing something constructive about this massive problem. Let’s work to
ensure that our streets, even as they get busier, will become even safer than they are now.
