speed is at all times at night. We have walkers, we have children, we have people with animals, and it’s a very nice neighborhood. But we need to look at that. Thank you. GIFFIN: Thank you. It was brought to my attention that, Lani, you had a question? BOWMAN: I’m sorry, and I forgot your name, but -. L. LEDERER: Les Lederer. BOWMAN: Yes, thank you. So you spoke about the traffic congestion on Ali‘i Drive now. But would, so if you did have the connector road, would that alleviate some of the traffic? L. LEDERER: If the connector road goes up to the highway, now you’ve got more traffic coming down. And with that Ali‘i Drive-La‘aloa connection, you’re going to have traffic backed up all the way to probably where the blind curve is, because -. BOWMAN: I’m just, okay, I’m just thinking about the people who live in those subdivisions being able to have another mauka-makai access to go to Kuakini. I’m thinking that if you go to teach school somewhere mauka, then you don’t have to go all the way down Ali‘i Drive. L. LEDERER: No, I don’t, but I still believe that if Phase 2 is not completed before Phase 1, you’re going to have a real problem down at Ali‘i Drive and La‘aloa. BOWMAN: Okay. Thank you. GIFFIN: You’re welcome. HERNANDEZ: Can I just comment? GIFFIN: Yes, Mr. Hernandez. HERNANDEZ: Yes, you know, all the neighbors that I know of Ali‘i Heights and Ali‘i Mauka, the connector is going to help out the lower portion of the Ali‘i Heights, I mean, of Keauhou View Estates. You’re going to see those people go up to the highway. It’s just that what we are looking for down that road is just some calming devices to slow the traffic down, because it is a steep grade. GIFFIN: Thank you. The three of you, I did ask last month the testifiers then, knowing how you feel and what you’ve expressed, are you in favor of this project? L. LEDERER: No. J. LEDERER: No. GIFFIN: No? Sir? HERNANDEZ: I am. GIFFIN: Okay, thank you. And thank you very much. 10 EXHIBIT E
