101 Corridor

Humboldt Baykeeper has been following Caltrans' Eureka-Arcata 101 Corridor Safety Improvement Project since 2007, when the Draft Environmental Impact Report was released. Caltrans proposes to improve safety along this 8-mile stretch of highway adjacent to the Humboldt Bay shoreline between Arcata and Eureka.

The Lost Coast Outpost was not able to cover yesterday’s meeting of the California Coastal Commission in Eureka — here are some reports from the Times-Standard and the North Coast Journal — but the commission’s decision on Caltrans’ proposals for new construction on the safety corridor between Eureka and Arcata was pretty monumental. In one swoop, the commission puts a ton of juice into two longstanding and somewhat controversial proposals: To build a pedestrian trail between Eureka and Arcata, and to remove billboards along the bay.

In preparation for the upcoming state Coastal Commission hearing on the Arcata-Eureka 101 Corridor Project, the Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday on which members will speak for the county.




According to a county report, the board is requesting that 3rd District Supervisor Mark Lovelace and 4th District Supervisor Virginia Bass — who represent Arcata and Eureka, respectively — present a letter supporting a pedestrian-bike trail connecting the cities at the federal consistency hearing on Thursday at the Wharfinger Building.

A presentation on the U.S. Highway 101 safety corridor drew mixed reaction from the Arcata City Council and the public at a council meeting on Wednesday.




Councilwoman Susan Ornelas, who was originally opposed to the proposed safety improvement project, said she is supportive if the bay trail, which would run from Arcata to Eureka, is incorporat­ed.

 

Humboldt Baykeeper commissioned an independent review of the 101 Corridor Improvement Project by Michael Moule, PE and TE, and Magnus Barber of Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. Moule specializes in improving conditions for non-motorized users without degrading motor vehicle capacity and balancing the needs of all users within the public right of way.
