r PART f: ACTION DESCRII'TION I.I Project Location The County of Hawaii proposes to fund construction improvements and assume maintenance and liability for an emergency access road that would connect State Highway l 1 to State Highway 130, passing through the Hawaiian Acres and Ainaloa subdivisions. The route begins at the junction of Old Volcano Trail (a County road) and S Road near Kuttistown in Hawaiian Acres; then proceeds southeast 4.5 miles along S Road to F Road; northeast 0.3 miles along F Road to 9 Road; southeast 0.50 miles along 9 Road to parcel 1-6-45:073 (hereafter referred to as the connector lot); northeast 0.3 miles across the connector lot to Ainaloa Blvd.; and then northeast 3. I miles along Ainaloa Blvd. to its junction with Highway 130 (all distances approximate) (Fig. I). The total length of roadway is approximately 8.7 miles. The County will assume ownership and responsibility for the entire right-of--way associated with each road, which has a width of 60 feet in Ainaloa and 40 Feet in Hawaiian Acres. 1.2 Pumose and Ohjectives of Action The primary purpose of the project is to provide a paved road connecting Highway 130 and Highway I 1 in order to improve Police Department, Fire Department, and ambulance services. It would also provide a bypass in case of accidents or Civil Defense emergencies that closed Highway 130 between Ainaloa and Keaau. Especially useful would be the ability of Hawaiian Acres residents tvho are prevented by flooding along the subdivision roads that connect to Highway I I to exit via Ainaloa Blvd. The road would also be open for public travel and would serve residents for travel within and between the Hawaiian Acres and Ainaloa Subdivisions. The project proposal developed as a combination of several ideas generated within the Hawaii County Fire Department, the Office of the Ntayor, and the Hawaiian Acres and Ainaloa Community Associations. The dedication of the road (albeit to emergency standards only) would enable future capacity and safety improvements to be paid for with fuel tax maintenance funds. 1
