You’re Invited to View the Initial Design Ideas for the New Annie and Mary Trail

This is a press release from the City of Arcata:

Arcata, CA – The City of Arcata will be sharing initial design ideas for the new multi-use Annie and Mary Trail Connectivity Project at an upcoming pop-up infrastructure demonstration and public meeting.

The Annie and Mary Connectivity Project will create a new trail that will connect Sunset Avenue/Larson Park to Valley West and the Aldergrove Industrial Park via West End Road. This project will also make improvements to the Sunset Avenue and Giuntoli Lane overpasses, create neighborhood connections to the trail and improve pedestrian access to parks and businesses.

The City received a Caltrans Sustainable Communities grant to support public outreach and planning activities surrounding this project. Ideas and community feedback received via a community survey and a public workshop held earlier this year have been used to develop the initial designs and alignment concepts for the new trail.

On Monday, April 22 from 12 to 6 p.m. the City will host a temporary, pop-up infrastructure demonstration on Sunset Avenue between the Arcata Skate Park and the traffic circle located nearby the park. The demonstration will show the public what the trail crossing Sunset Avenue and along the railroad corridor will look like, in addition to a new bus stop location in the area. All interested members of the public are asked to attend and share their feedback onsite with the project team.

On Tuesday, April 23 the City will hold a public workshop to share the initial trail design ideas. The workshop will consist of a short presentation followed by the opportunity for the public to ask questions and offer input to the project team. Food, a children’s activity corner and Spanish interpretation will be provided. The workshop will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Sequoia Conference Room at the Hampton Inn, located at 4750 Valley West Boulevard in Arcata.

Don’t forget the meth/heroin stand and safe injection sites.

Sounds like a good idea if the drugs addicts can be cleared out first. Don’t mean to sound negative, but.
