Will Eureka's Marina Center include bicycle access?

At the center of town fronting California's most beautiful bay, Eureka sports a huge fenced off wasteland. What do to with it? We could fight about it for another twenty years; that's definitely one possibility. The proposed Marina Center shown in this Wetlands Fly-Over represents a promising new direction. I'm just wondering what happens to cyclists when they leave that lovely new bike path along the bay? I see 4 lanes for traffic--none for cyclists--inside the Marina Center. Are we expected to park outside of town and walk? Or are we expected to continue taking our chances with downtown traffic? A development like this needs good bicycle access with well-marked bike lanes and easy-to-find bike parking racks.

Build it and they will come.
