Sounds like a very worthy project. Any road improvements are a plus in my book.
Any road improvement projects are fine with me. Making the roads safer for walkers, bikers, etc., is great!
Yup Arcata ! Rain started ! Begin paving project !
Making Bayside cutoff at 7:45-8:30 even sketchier.
Improvements good.
Improvements without respect to hours of the day that high traffic volume needs to flow into and out of Bayside. Bad.
This project should be done in the summer when Jacoby creek school has the least amount of traffic. Once again common sense has had no factor in the decision making.
