* The County shall develop short and long range capital improvement programs and plans for transportation which are consistent with the County General Plan. * Secondary arterial is a street of considerable continuity which is primarily a traffic artery for intercommunication between or through large areas; interconnect with and augment primary system. * A realignment of the Saddle Road from the Forest Reserve boundary on the south side of Kaumana Drive and along the north side of Puainako Street, intersecting the present Puainako alignment at Kinoole Street and continuing to the intersection of Kanoelehua Avenue should be constructed. * Widen Akolea Road to provide the uppermost cross-city connection from Piihonua to Kaumana and the upper reaches of Ainaola Drive. * Provide an integrated State and County system so that new major routes will complement and encourage proposed land uses. As previously mentioned, the General Plan Facilities Map delineates Komohana Street as an 80-foot right-of-way secondary arterial which extends in a northerly direction from its intersection at Waianuenue Avenue towards lands on the Hamakua side of Wailuku Drive and terminates near Honomu, and in a southerly direction from its intersection at Ainaola Street to Keaau. The Facilities Map also reflects the following proposed and/or existing 80-foot right-of-way secondary arterials: 1) Akolea Road is approximately 2.3 miles and less than 5 minutes from the intersection of Komohana Street and Waianuenue Avenue. Since 1935, Akolea Road extended from Kaumana Drive to Waipahoehoe Stream/Gulch, approximately 4,600 feet. Subsequently in 1949, Akolea Road extended in the north direction for a mile to connect to Waianuenue Avenue. A major length of Akolea Road, from Waianuenue Avenue toward Kaumana Drive, presently has a 20-foot pavement and 3-foot paved shoulders within an existing 40-foot right-of-way. The remaining portion of the road to Kaumana Drive has a minimum 10-foot pavement within the 40-foot right-of-way. The entire Akolea Road was resurfaced in June 1995. Akolea Road right-of-way is proposed to be -11-
