<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />transportation, causing a reduction in air pollution and the fostering of aloha. There will be a <br />workday on Sept. 24 in the Kahawai to Puu Opelu area. There have been 3 workdays this summer <br />with great attendance and enthusiasm. Background includes: 1994-1996 as part of the Main St. <br />program, WTGW became an offshoot of that program. First order of business was to get people to <br />and from work and school. Next was to connect communities. Got government involved for seed <br />money. Feds pay 80% and County 20%. Draft EA by Kimura approved in 1998. Feb. 99 started <br />work. 2000-2008 began getting easements. Increment 1 is Lindsey to Kahawai. 2010 new EA. <br />Sept. 11 received 2M CO commitment. Lennigrad offered his aloha by explaining the meaning- <br />facing you with goodness. Waimea means there is something in the water. Ke Ala Kahawai o <br />Waimea-to that trail water erodes, Waikoloa koloa means noise. Kahawai Kaloa. Outdoor Circle <br />removed exotics in their park and replaced with natives; good idea to take that approach and replant <br />native trees along the trail. Discussion lead to the surface of the trail which is suggested to be <br />concrete. Margaret H asked why concrete? Answer allows for strollers and wheelchairs. <br />Maintenance costs are less. Wood, gravel washes out. Outdoor Circle didn’t want asphalt as it <br />breaks down. Concrete can be colored. Robin added that she saw a trail on Kauai that is 10’ and it’s <br />not as wide as you might think and allows for shoulder to shoulder enjoyment and two way traffic <br />as well. Next step is that when EA is accepted by DOT, the project will then qualify for Fed. <br />Funds. The advocates for the trail meet every Monday from 5-6 pm at the Preservation building. <br /> <br />Reports; 2 <br />: <br />Puako-John reported PCA had barebones meeting, will report more next month in Puako <br />· <br />Kawaihae-Nancy reported the continued efforts of partnership between DHHL and P&R. <br />· <br />Park and Rec report to Nancy stated that Waimea Park is getting new lights, Waimea <br />District Park is in the hands of Parker Ranch, and that the pavilion at Spencer Beach Park is <br />out to RFP for 501C3 to take over. <br />Waimea-Robin reported that the Longs submission would have an upcoming meeting. <br />· <br />Waikoloa-Achahn reported that the CO had done work on the evacuation road and that an <br />· <br />emergency evacuation plan is underway.
