Coalition speaks against Humboldt Bay international container port boondoggle

Take me directly to the petition form!

This column appeared in the Times-Standard and the Eureka Reporter on 9 January 2007.

The Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District will soon be deciding whether or not to commit taxpayer dollars to pursue a business plan for a major container port on Humboldt Bay. We, the undersigned, represent a coalition of community-based groups and individuals that live, work, and pay taxes in the Humboldt Bay Area. We urge that any decision regarding industrial port activity around Humboldt Bay not be made hastily. The present harbor development project offers little to be gained and very much to lose.

Green Wheels noticed that some of Arcata's sidewalks were overgrown with vegetation, making it more difficult and less pleasant to walk in some areas, so we decided to do something about it. On Saturday, 3 November 2007, Green Wheels volunteers took to the streets to clear overgrown sidewalks and remind property owners and residents to help keep sidewalks clear.
