are used to it. But it's, and there's no question that it's a substandard road, especially for <br /> the number of people that go up and down it everyday. <br /> FUJIKAWA: Is there any other question, Commissioners, with the Applicant's <br /> representatives, staff or the Director? <br /> SPRINGER: Mr. Chair? <br /> FUJIKAWA: You do have one, Ms. Springer? <br /> SPRINGER: I have a comment, and that's just that, with the Public Works <br /> comments regarding the substandazds and deficiency of Palani Road, particularly in this <br /> section where sight distance is limited and shoulders are, looking at the photographs, are <br /> quite narrow, if existent at all.

And if someone could refresh my memory, but I think that, <br /> <br /> you know, there are no plans at this point in time to make any improvements to Palani <br /> <br /> Road. If I could refer that to Mr. Emler. <br /> <br /> FUJIKAWA: Mr. Emler? <br /> EMLER: There are funds in the Capital Improvements budget for, I believe <br /> it's $2-1/2 million to do some improvements on Palani Road, safety improvements <br /> 8 <br /> <br />
