A surprising 45 percent were not familiar with the Plan. TRENDS The most popular trends occurring in Kona since the last General Plan review, 10 years ago were: ❑ More park facilities (including pool) ❑ Greater selection for shopping ❑ Road improvements ❑ Increased community participation The least popular trends during that same time were: ❑ Lack of road improvements ❑ Level of unplanned development ❑ Increased noise SERVICES An increase in recycling services earned the strongest consensus with 86 percent of the respondents stressing a need for convenience. Beach Park and Park services were also seen as areas needing improvement with 73 and 70 percent, respectively, requesting additional services. While there were no areas where respondents wanted to see "less services", data plainly showed satisfied with current Civil Defense services (73 percent), and marginal satisfaction with Fire services (66 percent), Trash services (51 percent), and Police services (48 percent).
