Humboldt County

Humboldt Bay Trail

Green Wheels has been fighting for a trail between Arcata and Eureka along the railroad tracks since 2003. With a Humboldt Bay Trail feasibility study complete, we continue to engage with the North Coast Rail Authority, Humboldt County Association of Regional Governments, and Caltrans to get it done.

Humboldt County General Plan

The Humboldt County General Plan guides development in the county for the next twenty years. We need a plan which will emphasize walkable, bikeable, transit-oriented development. See the county website for more information on the General Plan Update.

2007 Traffic Fatalities Double over Previous Year

Fatal collison with pedestrian, 4th and A, Eureka
Site of pedestrian fatality in a collision at 4th and A Streets in Eureka in September.

Article from the Eureka Reporter (Dec 28, 2007):

"The total number of traffic-related fatalities in Eureka rose to two this year from last year’s one. In comparison, the CHP reported fatal traffic collisions doubled from seven by November 2006 to 14 by November 2007."

The reason:

"CHP Public Affairs Officer Paul Dahlen attributed the increase in accidents to more people being on the road. “We’re hitting the baby boomer generation, so there’s more elderly people on the road,” he said, adding that the baby boomers’ children are also on the road."

Hmmm. Would it make sense to reduce the number of cars on the road by giving people better and safer options?

Hi,

Bus rapid transit and amusement park rides – Jan. 30, 2007

My nephew is obsessed with trains. In fact, last weekend he traveled from suburban New Jersey into New York City with my stepfather to ride the Number 7 subway line in his quest to ride every subway line in NYC from end to end. There are some folks here in Arcata and Humboldt County who seem to be almost as obsessed as my nephew, to the point of losing sight of what rail is for: moving people and goods from place to place.
