About The Task Force

The 2018/2019 Plaza Improvement Task Force has been created to identify, prioritize and make recommendations to the City Council on projects and programs that would improve the downtown Plaza neighborhood.

The 2018/2019 Plaza Improvement Task Force will primarily focus on general safety, economic development, infrastructure improvements, beautification and an increase of Plaza-based community activities. Members of the Task Force will also collaborate with key stakeholders and residents to identify priority projects and programs to increase public use and reduce calls for police service.

Plaza Improvement Survey

The City of Arcata’s newly-formed Plaza Improvement Task Force has developed a short online survey to gather community input on recommendations to improve Arcata’s Plaza.

The Arcata Plaza serves as the epicenter of the community and as the economic hub for Arcata businesses. Shoppers, employees, merchants, tourists, students and families who visit Arcata all take away impressions of our City based on their experiences in the Plaza. In response to community outreach and concerns, Arcata City Council created the Plaza Improvement Task Force to help restore the Arcata Plaza as the centerpiece of the Arcata community.

In order to best serve Arcata’s diverse population, the Plaza Improvement Task Force is working to ensure that public input regarding Plaza improvement recommendations is as inclusive as possible. Members of the Task Force are highly focused on reaching a wide variety of individuals and groups in our community, and invite and encourage all community members to participate by taking the survey below.

The survey is available in both English and Spanish, and it will be available to the public until Friday, February 1, 2019.
