in Kona, obviously. I don€t know what to suggest. Widening Hualalai Road, is that a, <br />make it a four-lane road? I don€t think that€s goingto happen. But I€m just here because <br />I€m concerned about the safety of the neighbors, the traffic on that road. I€m living there, <br />I hear the traffic all the time and people, as Mr. Gimpel suggested. That curves can calm <br />excessive speed, a lot of people don€t even slow down when they go on those curves. <br />That€s all I can say. You hear brakes squealing all hours of the night, and that is why I€m <br />here today. Because living that neighborhood, we€re very familiar with the traffic <br />problems, and I€m just worried about the new traffic problems that this project is going to <br />present. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you, Ms. Murphy. Commissioners, any questions or <br />comments? <br />ALAMEDA:Madam Chair? <br />SPRINGER:Commissioner Alameda? <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. For both Mr. Gimpel and Ms. Murphy.

So we€re trying to make sure thatthe configuration for traffic is as <br />safe as possible, recognizing that the more traffic, the less safe it is as well. So, <br />obviously, if you have a lot more volume of traffic, which this will bring into the area, <br />you€re going to have less safe conditions on the most -. Our idea is to make it as safe as <br />possible. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay. Thank you. <br />SPRINGER:Commissioners? Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:Yeah, regarding the suggestion that instead of two entrances or <br />exits from the project that there€d be one in the center where there would be a much <br />greater line of sight, I€m wondering if that would, however, hamper evacuation if there <br />were a need to evacuate from there. If there was only one place where people could, all <br />of those dwellings would all have to go out from one place instead of from two different <br />15 <br /> <br />
