It reliied heavily on unused train track right-of-ways. Little was done. One of the few things that was accomplished in his plan was the bicycle warning light on the 101 bridge over Mad River. I have ridden my bicycle between Arcata and Eureka many times, both on 101 and Samoa Drive, with traffic constantly speeding by. I always wished that a safer trail was available.
