Traffic can take the loop road <br />through the Lokahi Kau subdivision to the Mid-Level Road, and then out to Kaiminani <br />Drive. The construction of this connector road to Kaiminani Drive has been completed <br />by the applicant. It was a condition of the occupancy of the Seascape 108 unit <br />-2- <br />
