to get home. It was gridlock both ways. Thank God I had something to drink and thank God I <br /> didn't have to go to the bathroom, it would have been a nightmare. I have a friend that lives off <br /> of Kuakini who wasn't even able to get home that night with her grandson, not until nine, ten <br /> o'clock that night. There was no access. We need to do something with infrastructure before <br /> another development is approved here. It's ridiculous what's going on with the traffic. It's a <br /> nightmare. And what was done since the last tsunami? Nothing. All the roads are exactly the <br /> same. Nothing's been done to alleviate it. And the problem with these developments is that they <br /> all have one way in and one way out. There is nothing connecting the different neighborhoods <br /> because they all end with cul-de-sacs. The developers need to be made to open up these roads <br /> and to have less profit, not having so many houses built. Leave it open so that in the future these <br /> developments will connect and not all end in cul-de-sacs with one way in and out. It's a hazard. <br /> And like with La`aloa, it wasn't opened up till how many years after the development was done? <br /> It's crazy. We need to build roads before we continue with the developments. Like any other <br /> place in the world, you put in your infrastructure, and then you build. Here it's the other way <br /> around, and it's insane what's going on. <br /> Queen Kalama is a blind intersection. If you try to make a left or right hand turn onto Alii <br /> Drive, you can't see either way. And you want to add another at least 200 cars to have to deal <br /> with this problem? It's crazy. Queen Kalama is also a very narrow road, and it can barely <br /> accommodate the traffic that's there now. There are no sidewalks. And it's the same thing for <br /> Naniloa. There is no way that they can accommodate this type of traffic that's going to be <br /> happening there. It's craziness to think that it's all going to work out. It's not. And the same <br /> thing is happening here; all, it's all ending in cul-de-sacs. There is nothing connecting to <br /> anything. There is going to be one way in and out of here. It's, it's crazy. It's unsafe. <br /> We are at least 10 years behind in infrastructure here on this island, and nothing's been done to <br /> improve anything in years. So we need to stop approving these developments until we get our <br /> infrastructure together. Thank you for your time. <br /> VITOUSEK: Thank you for your testimony. Lamaku? Aloha.
