Ron would concur with this, Mr. Thiel, that Kamehameha Avenue is where speed and where <br />impact is; and that’s really a regional issue. It happens when the roads are closed on Bayfront <br />Highway, you get every truck and everything coming through there. There is already a fair <br />amount of back and forth from the parking and the bus depot as the bus use is increasing. Mamo <br />Street is a fairly quiet street. It’s broken up three or four times by stop lights and pedestrian <br />crossing ways. So we really aside from people being courteous to each other and in the cross- <br />walks, we don’t really see that as, at this point it’s not where the biggest issue is. It’s really <br />across at Kamehameha Avenue, I think. So we will continue to work at safety connecting the <br />two sides of that across Mamo. <br />SIRACUSA: Follow-up, please? <br />WATANABE: Follow-up. <br />SIRACUSA: Yes. Well, I’m aware, and Mamo Street is only like three blocks long <br />anyway. <br />MELROSE: Right. <br />SIRACUSA: So it’s certainly not a through street, but it is important to Downtown Hilo. <br />So the overpass isn’t definitely part of the project. There was also some mention that possibly a <br />third floor. How firm is that in the plans, the third floor? <br />DELA CRUZ: Just a thought on the bridge. This project here is a part of our first phase. <br />We own property across the street and kitty corner to it. And my thought was to connect it to the <br />parking lot that is on the third property with the third phase. As far as the question about the <br />third floor, we do intend to have a third floor but it’s a much-scaled down third floor. We had <br />about 4,000 square feet. We’ve we reduced it down to about 1,000 square feet. <br />SIRACUSA: Will there be an elevator? <br />DELA CRUZ: Yes. <br />SIRACUSA: So it will be ADA accessible to the third floor then? <br />DELA CRUZ: Yes. <br />SIRACUSA: But then of course it will also be a staircase, is that right? <br />DELA CRUZ: There would be two staircases. <br />SIRACUSA: Okay. The reason I’m asking -. <br />DELA CRUZ: Actually, I’ll correct me, it’s three staircases. <br />SIRACUSA: Okay, the reason I was asking about that was because this is in a tsunami <br />evacuation zone and so I was concerned if there were people, especially if you did a hostel, <br /> EXHIBIT B 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
