Dear City Council Members,
My name is Angeline Holtski, and I was born and raised in Arcata. My family still lives in Arcata. I am SO happy with the  progress of the Gateway plan and I am writing to share my enthusiastic support for the sustainability, walkability, and bikeability of the plan.
Please keep the current height limits in the plan to help encourage denser housing. Dense housing is a key piece to solving our local housing crisis and creating sustainable communities. Please don’t lower height restrictions. Denser housing creates safer pedestrian and biking walkways. Please make sure that K Street and 11th Street are substantially redesigned to make them safe and comfortable for
walking, biking and rolling. If these streets aren’t changed, they will prevent the Gateway Plan from realizing its full
potential for producing a walkable, bikeable neighborhood.
Thank you for your time and all the work you put into your council‐member seats!
Sincerely,
Angeline Holtski
