GreeƟngs,

As a longtime resident of Arcata who mainly walks and bikes through the city, I have two main concerns with the current proposals for the Gateway area. First of all, creating a road on L street where there is currently a bike/hiking path is a terrible idea. This route is currently the only path in Arcata where one can be free of cars while hiking or biking. While on the path having to cross streets 7th through 11th is understandable, but biking on the trail with cars zooming by on the same route would destroy the serenity that one desires.

Secondly, I propose that the city limit the height of any new construction to 4 stories.

Respectfully,

Bob Stockwell
