WATANABE: Okay. Along those lines, since you did indicate that Kuakini will <br />remain at Grade E, yeah, did – and I don’t know if this was within the scope of your study, <br />but – did you do a study if the proposed Bypass Road – I’m not talking about the Parkway, <br />but the Bypass Road that extends beyond that – if that were built, what then would happen to <br />the flow of Kuakini Highway? <br />OKANEKU: No, I have not done that kind of analysis yet. <br />WATANABE: That was kind of outside the scope then? <br />OKANEKU: I have inquired with State DOT as far as the status of Kuakini <br />Highway. Now they’re, I think some time this year they’re going to be beginning a planning <br />study for the widening of Kuakini Highway, which would probably go from Henry Street, <br />well, Queen K and Henry Street and all the way to Kamehameha III Road. So, but -. <br />WATANABE: Yeah, because really our problem is that we don’t have workforce <br />housing and most of the people are going back home in the evening hours and so, yeah, <br />naturally Kuakini can’t improve until you have the Bypass Road that comes out, I guess it <br />exits or joins at Napoopoo junctions, yeah? And, you know, we’re not bypassing anything <br />other than that. So we still got Kainaliu as a bottleneck. <br />OKANEKU: Well, the Bypass you’re talking about, the Hokulia Bypass? <br />WATANABE: Right. <br />OKANEKU: Oh, okay. <br />WATANABE: Right, right, right. Did you do any analysis as to how that Bypass <br />would help or potentially help Kuakini? <br />OKANEKU: I’ve reviewed that as part of the Keauhou Resort analysis because that <br />was done by another project to the south of us. I mean, it would, you know, divert some of <br />the Kuakini traffic through the Kealakehe, not Kealakehe -. <br />LIM: Kealakekua? <br />OKANEKU: Kealakekua, right. <br />WATANABE: Right. <br />OKANEKU: Captain Cook area, okay, that, Kainaliu and through that area. But <br />once it gets into the Keauhou Resort area, then without, you know, the Alii Parkway, first of <br />all, then traffic diverts back up to, you have Kuakini or down to Alii Drive. And the <br />Parkway is pretty much an extension of that Bypass until it hits, you know, well, Lako at first <br />and then beyond up to Kuakini. So that in itself is a segment that won’t affect this, you <br />EXHIBIT B <br />21 <br /> <br />
