engaged in the intersection behind me or taking out the back end of my truck. He hit me so hard he did $15,000 worth of damage to the back of my Toyota. If an accurate traffic assessment had been done for this project, every intersection in this project area would have an LOS F rating. They did four years ago, they do now. I appreciate the mitigation on opening up the bottom of Kahakai. But, I mean, that is not, as Mr. Morioka said in his letter to the Commission or the Director, thatÓs not solving the problem. ThatÓs keeping the intersection at its present state which is poor, unacceptable. I mean if you donÓt do that, youÓre sending people out into that intersection by force, into an intersection that canÓt handle the volume that it has right now. If you look at the pictures here, they said 85 percent of this construction is complete. One hundred percent of that construction was after their permit expired last July. They had not even broken ground yet. You have the photos in front of you. You can see the traffic in, towards the back there.

YouÓve got no way in, no way out, even for emergency vehicles. Okay, IÓm sorry. Thank you. WOODWARD: All right, thank you. Any questions for Mr. Metcalf? LEE: Mr. Metcalf. WOODWARD: Yes. LEE: Just a little clarification for the record. When you refer to the intersection what is that intersection? M. METCALF: Old Phoa Road and Highway 130. LEE: Thank you. WOODWARD: Thank you, Director Lee. Any further questions? No? Okay, Mr. Brady Metcalf. B. METCALF: Good morning. My name is Brady Metcalf. My residence address is 15-2707 Old Phoa Village Road. I live about 150 yards from this intersection of Kahakai Boulevard and Old Phoa Village Road. I have made numerous 911 calls because of accidents in that intersection, both during business hours from my business, which is right next door, the auto parts, and from my home at night. ItÓs a dangerous intersection already. And when we experienced the opening of the Malama Market Place and the Subway Sandwich Shop they have 5 EXHIBIT A
