City of Eureka Releases G Street Bike Boulevard Survey Results
This is a press release from the City of Eureka:
On April 17, 2026, the City of Eureka’s Engineering Department released the G Street Bike Boulevard Survey. The survey was intended to gather feedback on the existing C Street Bike Boulevard and learn more about what the community envisions for future bike boulevards such as G Street.
The survey was open for two weeks, and received 1,050 responses. Additional feedback was also submitted through emails, phone calls, and door to door conversations with community members. All Survey Monkey results can be viewed at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-WuqYQjb1VJlt5gtQ_2Bmzjvw_3D_3D/ . Viewer discretion is advised, as there is profanity in some responses.
To clarify some questions received:
- Why was G Street selected? G Street was identified as a potential future Bike Boulevard location based on the 2024 City of Eureka Bike Plan.
- How is this project funded? Funding for the project is from the Linc Housing Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program, which included requirements for sustainable transportation improvements.
- Has the design been finalized? While the G Street Bike Boulevard is moving forward, the specific design has not been decided. Feedback received from this survey will help inform the design. At this time, the project is anticipated to feature a “light-touch” bike boulevard design, with no one-way directional changes or reductions in parking.
Once ready, the draft G Street Bike Boulevard design will be presented to the Transportation Safety Commission (TSC) and the Eureka City Council. Meeting dates have not yet been determined. Both meetings will allow for public comment.
Questions can be sent to Project Manager, Brittany Powell at [email protected] or (707) 441-4127.

IMHO:
C street is a failure. A $1.5 Million Failure.
H Street is a failure. A $2.27 Million Failure.
I Street is a failure. A $2.27 Million Failure.
Myrtle Ave is a failure. Cost… (dunno).
Now, G street will be the next failure. Cost… who cares !!! Let ‘er roll !!!
Let’s hear it for the City Council !
Hip hop hurrah !!! Hip hop hurrah !!!
The money they spent for painting bike lanes would have bought a few new busses. Busses that have an initial cost for sure, but also generate revenue and an easy, dry ride from town to town. But hey, ignore those polls too.
Buses also have drivers, maintenance and fuel, ongoing expenses. Paint gets redone every 10 years if we’re lucky.
Anyway, half the reason for the bike lanes is to encourage drivers to slow. down. so fewer people die on the streets and neighborhoods are less awful.
How are they a “failure”? Just because you don’t personally use them?
H and I streets are way better to drive on than they used to be when they were 3 lanes.
Exactly because they don’t personally use them. It may be a symptom of car brain, or maybe just human brain.
No they arent
Please define “failure”. Thank you.
The results of this survey strongly indicate that you can ignore the results of this survey.
Exactly, project is moving forward no matter what.
It sounds like it did influence their choices.
Which is a shame when you look at the demographics and see that the survey pool was not even remotely representative.
