This website exists to provide information for you. The Gateway Plan — in its implications and consequences — is an extremely complex matter. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Only by being informed can the public and our elected and appointed officials make the needed determinations that will create a new Arcata.
The images, maps, information, viewpoints, and policies provided by the City planners and consultants are simply inadequate. People make decisions need information.
And to recap:
A plan that is not feasible is no plan at all.
If the Gateway Plan is not going to provide truly affordable housing for the people who need it, then what’s the point? If working people can’t buy a home and can’t afford the rent, then we need to think this through more.
If there is information that you’d like, or you have questions or observations about the Gateway Plan, please write.
Here are some ideas and articles for recommended reading.
