Local Road Safety Plan

Project Summary

The City of Arcata and Redwood Community Action Agency worked together to improve the safety of our city’s streets by creating a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP). An LRSP is a data-driven safety plan that utilizes input from the public, collision data, and risk factors to identify road safety concerns and develop roadway improvements. The Project Team considered education, engineering, enforcement, emergency medical services, and equity to make Arcata safer for motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and other non-motorized travelers. With help from you, we identified unique safety needs in Arcata! It was an excellent opportunity to share safety concerns and ideas to foster solutions to improve quality of life, safe routes to school, and mobility for all modes of transportation. View the results of the LRSP here: 

2024 Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP)


We encourage the public to continue using StreetStory, an interactive online mapping tool, to highlight areas where road safety can still be improved. StreetStory is easy to use and helps public agencies understand local needs.
