<br /> ~ March 18, 1998 <br /> Dominic Yagong <br /> Chairman, Public Works Committee <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> 26 Aupuni St. <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Dear Mr. Yagong, C'_,._ <br /> I am Janet Tatsuta-Byrnes, a registered nurse at Hilo Medical Center. <br /> I am writing of my concerns regarding Bi11 198 prohibiting parking <br /> on Waianuenue Ave. from the mauka access to Rainbow Drive ti Waiau St, <br /> The decision to prohibit parking along Waianuenue Ave. along the <br /> Hilo Medical Center (HMC) campus assumes that we have adequete and <br /> safe parking for staff and visitorso The new parking lot mauka of <br /> the acute hospital has provided partial :relief fcr a longstanding <br /> parking problem at HMC but only because staff and visitors at the <br /> Extended Care end of the HMC campus use 'the area around the mauka <br /> access to Rainbow Drive of Waianuenue Ave. The traffic division <br /> has marked this area off as a no parking area in the proposed bill <br /> (See map). This area is chosen as safer than parking directly across <br /> Waianuenue Ave. in the DLNR gravel lot which is unlit and unpaved. <br /> Still this lot is necessarily well used. With the new construction <br /> going on of the radiology-oncology facility 26 stalls designated <br /> for employees in the parking lot across the street from the acute <br /> hospital has been blocked off til November 1 and possibly beyond. <br /> Until the hospital provides adequete and safe parking for all visitors <br /> and staff, I ask that you consider altering if not deferring the <br /> bill in its present form. <br /> T~,ank you, <br /> anet Tatsuta-Byrnes -,-Q F <br /> 830 A Uilani St. !fib <br /> Hilo, Hi. , 96720 pr~wntu.~ covNCr~_ <br /> ltal. ~a6n_,~;~~ 1 R 19~ <br /> <br />
