Neighborhood Meeting on US 101 Interchange Improvements on November 9th
This is a press release from the City of Arcata:
Sunset Avenue Interchange
The City of Arcata Building and Engineering Department invites members of the community to join them at a neighborhood meeting for an update and discussion about the City’s US 101-Sunset Avenue Interchange Improvements Project.
The project includes three study intersections along Sunset Avenue at the US 101 Southbound Ramps on G Street and H Street, the US 101 Northbound Ramps and L.K. Wood Boulevard. Currently, all three intersections have poor operations for all modes of transportation and lack bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
The purpose of the project is to improve operations, connect the local and regional bicycle and pedestrian facilities across US 101, and create a gateway into central Arcata and Cal Poly Humboldt. This project has been in the works since 2014, and the City team is looking forward to providing an update to the public.
The meeting will take place on Thursday, Nov. 9, at 5:30 p.m. in the Great Hall on the Cal Poly Humboldt campus, located at the intersection of Harpst and Rossow streets. All interested community members and neighborhood residents are welcome to attend.
For more information about the project, please email [email protected].

They should consult the failed city counsel of Eureka. The streets of Eureka are being destroyed to accommodate an anti auto agenda. Looks like it will happen to Arcata too.
An other pro active step too improve are quality of life. They call it an safety corridor but more almost accidents haPpen there than any where else. You have the group of people who slow down while the rest of us maintain normal free way speeds. This results in sudden braking an a accordian affect. Those drivers whom think they our the speed police cause more accidents than any thing else. Just go with the flow of traffic an you will get there sooner an in 1 piece. We all know how to drive these rural roads. We have been doing it are whole life’s.
Or, you could read the signs and obey the law.
This has nothing to do with the “Safety Corridor”.
>’This project has been in the works since 2014′
10 year project ???
As I recall… a CalTrans Engineer won an award for designing that intersection.
Something must be wrong with the sidewalks… I guess.
Wait till it starts pouring down rain and we will see how many pedestrians and bicycles use that crossing.
If the arcata community objects to the project, then leave it and move on the other more important highway improvements.
