Richard Nishimura Hilo ~-2.497 <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> Traffic Division <br /> 108 Railroad Av. <br /> Hilo, Hi 96720 <br /> RE: Leleiwi Community.j'Association proposal for PARKING NO PARKING <br /> zones along Kalanianaole Street (from Richardson Beach Park to <br /> Lokoaka Street) <br /> Dear Mr. Nishimura: <br /> Five individuals were involved in the survey of Kalanianaole Street; <br /> three members from the Community Association, Elfie and Robert Wilkins, <br /> <br /> Mark Marshall and Dexter Chaves, our Neighborhood Community Officer <br /> and Ron Reilly, from the Mayoral Committee on Bicycle and Pedestrian <br /> safety. These are our suggestions: <br /> 1. Designate the NO PARKING zone all along the MAUKA SIDE of <br /> Kalanianaole and permit parking on the makai side. <br /> # safety for beach visitors <br /> if cars were to park on the mauka side of Kalanianaole <br /> passengers, drivers and keiki would have to cross that busy <br /> street to go to the beach and risk car traffic from the other <br /> side of the street. <br /> # tsunami escape roads <br /> all streets leading to the escape roads are on mauka side <br /> and most of the fire hydrants and utility_.poles are also on <br /> that side, so it seems wise to keep the mauka side free of <br /> parked cars. <br /> # ease of compliance and enforcement <br /> by keeping the no parking zone consistent along one side of <br /> the street, it will be easier for drivers to understand and <br /> police to enforce parking regulations. <br /> 2. Crosswalk at Oeoe Street <br /> keep existing crosswalk for pedestrians who wish to walk to <br /> Leleiwi Beach Park <br /> 3. Divide Kalanianaole equally on both lanes <br /> the total width of Kalanianaole is everywhere no less than 30 feet; <br /> we would like the road divided: <br /> shoulder 5 feet 10 feet 10 feet _ _ feet <br /> ~ roa way ~ roadway shoulder <br /> I <br /> <br />
