5 Pages <br /> as a priority project to be implemented during Phase 1 of the GP. This is the missing piece in <br /> the GP. <br /> In section "6.3.1, Prioritization of Capital Improvement Projects," the Draft GP quotes the <br /> County charter: "Capital improvements shall be prioritized based on criteria aligned with the <br /> general plan, community development plans, emergency expenditures and other pertinent <br /> functional plans." Section 10-6(a)(2). But then goes no further to recognize priority projects <br /> identified in adopted community development plans. <br /> We ask that the GP recognize that the SK Community Development Plan includes a chapter for <br /> Waikoloa Village that designates the second access arterial road as a "very high priority," and <br /> that it should be scheduled for implementation through the CIP during Phase I of the 2045 Plan. <br /> We would appreciate your support by including these points in the comments submitted by the <br /> Traffic Safety Committee. We will be submitting comments directly to the Planning Commission <br /> asking that the draft plan be supplemented with additional language to ensure that the priority <br /> identified in the Community Development Plan be implemented. <br /> Number 3 <br /> a) Because 2 people have hit by cars and died walking/running on Kawaihae between Laelae <br /> and Opelo in the past 10 years create sidewalk barrier that runs on both sides of road from <br /> Kahawai to Opelo (it is my understanding sidewalk to be installed from Opelo to Spencer- <br /> why not extend it 2 blocks where deaths have already occurred from autos veering off road) <br /> b) Install barrier at bend just past Hospice on Kawaihae where cars going makai/west cut that <br /> curve and drive into shoulder almost hitting pedestrians walking to town (you can see paint <br /> worn and road bumps gone from drivers not driving in proper lane) <br /> c) Mandate all county and state roads have shoulder big enough to move my car over into it <br /> to allow for dangerous tailgating cars and cars wanting to speed and pass into oncoming traffic <br /> (like Kiholo accident 2/18/25 killing 2 Waimea residents). <br /> d) Put more crosswalks in Waimea Town- at Opelo/Kawaihae, at Kahawai/Kawaihae (Waimea <br /> Trails at end of Kahawai gets a lot of people crossing) <br /> e) Because Kawaihae Road was never meant to be a highway, mandate 3 lanes to accommodate <br /> turn out lanes all up and down Kawaihae. Kawaihae has too many cars causing traffic backed <br /> up for miles during am and pm commuting hours and special events- <br /> _unnnr_,hawaii.rr.con 808-938-2954 or evans.kohala(a)gmail.com 808-345-5810 <br />
