~iC..`• , i 2004 f4RR 18 P(4 3 C9 . c: COUNT ! -'~ln1,411 Dear: Councilman James Arakaki 2/15/04 Re: Please help us stop the removal of the Keo Keo Street Barricade As a homeowner on Keo Keo Street I am concerned about removing the barricade which was erected on private land, and has already been denied removal by the city at a previous date. 1. I am concerned about the safety of drivers, walkers, elderly, children, and pets who use this road as a means of transportation. a. HOLD AND AHIKAWA AND KEOKEO AND KAIMINANI HAVE POOR VISIBILITY TDUE TO STEEP INCLINES THAT LIMIT (SEE PHOTOS) SIGHT FOR CROSS TRAFFIC....entering Kaiminani from Keo Keo can be dangerous, as visibility is not clear especially from the makai side due to hill which obstructs the view. It takes approximately 4-6 seconds from the time you can see the car to the time it crosses the intersection, making this a dangerous pace to exit Kaiminani. b. DANGEROUS SITUATIONS OCCUR ON TMK 7-3-005-111 DUE TO LIMITED VISIBILITY. (SEE PHOTOS) A vehicle has already landed in the front property of the makai side of the road (Keo Keo side) due to a lack of smooth transition when the barrier was previously opened for only a 24 period of time. 1)Previously three vehicles have ended up in the north-makai property at Holu and Ahikawa Street when they failed to make the turn. c. 600+ additional households (with an aver. Of 2 vehicles each) will add to the additional traffic from 65 households which already access the road. This will bring AT LEAST 1265 new vehicles to a road that was not designed to handle such traffic. d. this will add to the burden of the already 16,000 cars which utilize Kaiminani each day (Hawaii Dep. Of Trans, 24 hour traffic count). (tote: "Pictures" containeu on a DAD, are on file in the Glerk's Office.) Z.• Z Comm. No. Ref. To: IA)~ Ref. Date
