<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Keaubou Area 5 Homeowner's Association <br /> 78-288 Manukai St. <br /> Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> March 11, 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> County of Hawaii Planning Commission <br /> Brenda Ford <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OF BRENDA FORD'S AMENDMENT <br /> <br /> <br /> We support the Keauhou Outreach Group Traffic Committee's conclusions reached after <br /> years of study and we support Resolution 31106. Further more, we believe that all the <br /> measures listed in the resolution must be implemented before the Hokulia bypass is <br /> opened to the commuting public. Most important of these is that traffic calming devices, <br /> physical barriers, such as serpentines, chokers and speed tables be installed for the safety <br /> of local residents who must enter onto Ali. These physical barriers are present 24 hours <br /> a day in all weather and definitely more effective than signs and occasional police <br /> presence. <br /> <br /> Serpentines are used effectively and commonly in Europe where highways pass through <br /> towns, slowing the highway traffic to approximately 30 MPH through the town. This is <br /> accomplished without bumps, noise, pollution, and without the need for continual police <br /> presence. <br /> <br /> Thank you for listening to our deeply held conviction; safety is more important than <br /> convenience. <br /> <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> r <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Roland Kleger <br /> President / <br /> Comm.
