Tyler:Good morning, aloha. <br />SPRINGER:Aloha, mai. Are Messrs. Matsuyama and Fuke <br />participants in the Kohanaiki group discussions, especially with regard to traffic? <br />TYLER:They have been present. I canÓt tell you whether they have <br />specifically been collaborating because, certainly they have encouraged them to do so. <br />They have indicated willingness to do so, but I have not been a party in those meetings. I <br />think youÓll have to ask Mr. Fuke that question or Mr. Matsuyama, Burke Matsuyama. <br />SPRINGER:Besides the Kohanaiki group meetings, are you aware of <br />any other group meetings on traffic issues, in particular with regard to Kaahumanu <br />Highway, that you can tell us about? <br />TYLER:IÓm aware that the County has undertaken a study to <br />develop a roadway circulation plan for the area from approximately the Kona <br />International Airport, I think thatÓs Haumanamana, perhaps a little further north, maybe, <br />till the lands of KaÒu, to the urban expansion area, all the way down to Honaunau. And I <br />understand thatÓs, I read that itÓs on your agenda today, the Deputy Planning Director is <br />going to be making a report. IÓll be very interested to hear what that is because I havenÓt <br />heard anything further about it. There have been some public meetings; and needless to <br />say there were scores of people who turned out for these meetings, they were well <br />attended. But I havenÓt heard anything for some months. In addition, I know that the <br />Kona Traffic Safety Committee to their credit has been, and Mr. Gimpel spoke to you <br />earlier this morning about some of their concerns, have, meet monthly. Unfortunately, <br />they do so in the evenings that IÓm in Hilo, so I donÓt, usually I havenÓt been able to make <br />these meetings. But they have indicated concern, not only to the State Highways, County <br />Department of Public Works, also to my office on some occasion. But itÓs very, you <br />know, their work is quite considerable, given the traffic, infrastructure deficits we have <br />here. Those are ones that immediately come to my mind, Commissioner Springer. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. <br />TYLER:YouÓre welcome. <br />FUJIKAWA:Is there any other question from the Commissioners to <br />Mr. Tyler or any of the testifiers? If not, thank you very much for testifying. <br />TYLER:Mahalo. <br />FUJIKAWA:And will the Applicant please come forward again? <br />HAUANIO:Mr. Chair, just one more point of clarification. When <br />Mr. Tyler said non-point source pollutant, does he mean anything that adversely impacts <br />our subsistence? <br />20 <br /> <br />
