Waikoloa Subcommittee's Second Access Road Report <br />"This shopping center is what we were looking for in our county, and with economic <br />development will come prosperity for the community," District 9 Councilman Tim RichaRoads <br />said. RichaRoads is working to address the congestion at the intersection with a traffic signal or a <br />round -about, depending on the findings of experts in the field. <br />Conclusion: This project will certainly increase the amount of traffic on Waikoloa Road and <br />congestion at the intersection at Paniolo Drive. It heightens the urgency to address safety issues <br />at the intersection via a traffic light or a round -about, and provide another access road to the <br />Village. <br />State development in Waikoloa: PUBLIC LIBRARY for WAIKOLOA REGION. <br />The 2018 legislature authorized the purchase of land in Waikoloa to build a public library. On <br />April 25, 2019 Governor David Ige released $1.9 million in Capital Improvement Project funds <br />to buy a 1.750 -acre parcel for the new Waikoloa Public Library. The library is to be located on <br />one of the parcels in the future Waikoloa Plaza shopping center, near the intersection of <br />Waikoloa Road and Paniolo Avenuenue. (See above.) The library site would be just past the <br />existing Post Office building on Pua Melia Street. <br />Once the parcel is purchased by the state, the Department of Land and Natural Resources is <br />required to prepare an Environmental Assessment for the project and the public will have the <br />opportunity to submit comments. After that, the project will start its design phase during which <br />the community can provide their advice about what should be included in the facility. <br />Friends of the Library of Waikoloa Region (FLWR) has worked diligently for over a decade to <br />procure a Public Library for the Waikoloa Region residents and visitors. They are hopeful that <br />the library will be completed and accessible in 2022. <br />Waikoloa Vdlage Goll Club—k.1-HghNc,& <br />Site Plan ' � Shopping Celael <br />06 ° / <br />Qa <br />sgnea Rosins IM ! - Q - - U <br />.,von. —.1—lPal 8/�Irnn <br />Ale Nerawen lel I 'I __� � . <br />•Belvma'sRwIE3-51 w/ � - <br />•Benms[P5�1 r'1 • � A e�:F <br />•ch•'nry�aashen lEs�7 l�1 /�/��`�7�J_y� P <br />AL <br />.aassmulmxlElal /3 <br />PA <br />•ma ea&,m:ID2.1 -/ �r Sim <br />•cher*KfPs-D1 - FF}(:I�Da �7 �D, <br />•Famd/'HnPR ana wNhnaIP61 �� Pi�.,0 . <br />.H—Fames,fcyinl , a" �' e' O2 <br />•Rwalana{cf F°t �v�� � /eanslMWr FfEnYm -. <br />.IJac6 Flnllenc NNEn91E1.1] � k� � c 3r S' � f�� 9pvm <br />•leans Warthouse 10491 OUTRIGGER <br />•L&LH:n..8e91D2-EI - MQ0DW Sllal i' i]V <br />Slit New V A R—ft X-51 IVRI �� ,n , / J <br />SaeNilmal n..I i K �a m E2 EI ....
