P.O.

Regarding the proposal to rezone 32 acres in Ola'a, from Agriculture <br /> A - 20 to Industrial ~-Commercial Mixed Use Bill 195, please defer <br /> action until the $1 F.5 million Kea'au bypass road is completed. <br /> The traffic congestion is appalling and hazardous in the Kea'au area. <br /> Accidents are notably plentiful and road rage is worsening day by day. <br /> It would not be prudent to act with haste, to approve reclassification of <br /> prime agriculture land where much of the surrounding area consists of raw <br /> lava. A better strategy would be to have an accurate assessment of traffic <br /> flow upon completion of the Kea'au bypass road. <br /> Thus, the ramifications of decision making by this body, will be a true <br /> reflection of the numerous motorists who daily commute on Highway 1 1, <br /> the Volcano-Hilo route. <br /> Mahalo for the opportunity to comment on Bill 195 and for your attention to <br /> the serious implications involved in this proposal. <br /> Sint~cerely~ ' <br /> Bonnie Bator and `Ghana C1omm.
