Arcata City Council Considers $75K Land Purchase for Campbell Creek Road Repair
What happened
The Arcata City Council is considering spending $75,000 to purchase a 0.17-acre property located in the Campbell Creek ravine. This property is adjacent to a street where repair work is beginning following a landslide that occurred in late 2024. The city needs to acquire the land because it lacks an easement allowing staff to work on the road instability originating from that parcel.

Why it matters

Creek flooding has previously caused damage to residents' homes in the area of Campbell Creek.
