9 P 1 l.3 Pmiect n ecri to ion Except far the connector lot mentioned above ;a distance of approximately (,500 Ceet), the road already exists. The project would widen, pave and otherwise improve the road as appropriate to meet the following standards: o Two paved 8-foot travel lanes, with center stripe; o Two paved 2-foot shoulders, striped for separation from travel lanes; 0 2-inch AC pavement; o Sight distance appropriate to 25 MPH road. Alt surfacing on the existing roads would be done over compacted base course that •.vas installed about 30 years ago and has become overgrown from lack of maintenance. Tfre ' new section on the connector lot would require grading and a base course in addition to paving. Because this section is an entirely new road, slightly higher standards requiring 20 feet of paved lanes, 6-foot shoulders, and Z-inch AC pavement over 4 inches of base course with 6 inches of sub-base (if necessary) will be applied. Most road work would take place in Hawaiian Acres and in the connector lot, because Ainaloa Blvd. currently meets the above standards in most places and requires only minor widening and striping. Ainaloa Blvd and much of Road 8 (approximately 60 percent of the total route) are already paved. Several sections of the road require safety modifications in order to meet minimum sight distance safety requirements. Because the roads are all straight, no adjustment of horizontal alignment is necessary. Blind hills impair sight distance in several locations, which will be improved mostly through placement of fill. Avery limited area of cutting is required. The road would have a posted speed limit of 25 MPH. A County Capital Improvement Fund of $1,000,000 has been authorized to bring the route up to County emergency standards. These funds can only be applied after the County acquires ownership of the road.
