No. 1072/Res. 557-08 <br /> PLACE: Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort and Spa <br /> 78-128 Ehukai Street <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hawaii <br /> TIME: 9:30 a.m. <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Comtittee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations, to which was referred <br /> Communication No. 1072, regazding Resolution 557-08, reports as follows: <br /> <br /> Resolution 557-08, transmitted by Council member Dominic Yagong via Communication 1072, dated <br /> <br /> February 2$, 2008, requires the County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency to Create a Partnership with the <br /> State of Hawaii Department of Transportation to Design and Construct Park and Ride Facilities at <br /> Designated Sites Along State Highway 19 within Council District 1. <br /> There was no testimony from the public on this proposed amendment. <br /> Council member Dominic Yagong seeks the support of his colleagues in his proposed resolution. He <br /> <br /> believes this is an island wide issue and with the free ridership program, his district experienced a large <br /> increase in bus ridership. The following communities of Papa`ikou, Pepe`ekeo, Laupahoehoe, and the <br /> Lakeland Subdivision in Kamuela have high ridership numbers that warrant the construction of park and <br /> ride facilities consisting of parking lots and bus shelters. Furthermore, it will continue to encourage bus <br /> <br /> ridership, provide parking, safe loading and unloading areas for passengers and have Mass Transit <br /> <br /> Agency enter into a partnership with the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation to identify the <br /> locations within the previously named areas. <br /> Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations is in accord with the purpose and <br /> intent of Resolution 557-08, and recommends its adoption. <br /> dkr <br /> AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> FORD X <br /> RIGA X COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS AND <br /> HOFFMANN X INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS <br /> IKEDA X <br /> JACOBSON X <br /> NAEOLE X BRENDA J.
