I- Speeding on Hwy 132 all night long. No bike lane- very unsafe. I- Still plagued w /poor Traffic intersections Far too many auto collisions I- Street lites gike lane maintenance traffic lites at four way clovelleats I- Street safety is paramount as auto drivers are mostly so arrogant and do not respect non motorized transportation. So a GO SLOW through Pahoa town would be nice. I- streets and intersections are unsafe I- That's why Pahoa (or more specifically) Puna is called the "wild, wild, west "The Pahoa Village needs better sidewalks /walkways, speeding enforcement. People in the town don't always pay attention when crossing the street & people often speed through the town. But I think most people drive slow through the town. I- There are too many urban problems in this rural, isolated setting. I- Traffic I- Traffic is fast through town. I- traffic issues can only bring a poor rating I- Traffic on dangerous roads; no shoulder for bicycles & pedestrians all thru Town; I- traffic with poor roads and one lane in each direction, lighting, no sidewalks and no bike lanes anywhere I- transportation especially. Must make road /walkway separation safer I- We need better places for people on foot -kid safety is primary I- we need to have stoplights in the pahoa bypass also towards the bottom of hawaiian beaches due to many accidents I- What kind safety you mean? Traffic safety at Hilo -side intersections is poor. I- Widening the transfer station roads would be helpful, incoming and exit. I- With no safe place to walk or bike ride; it is very dangerous. But I feel the town is safe. Lack of road maintenance, Albezia control, etc. Police: Presence and Performance. Crime. P- A stronger police presents at night, P- Better than it used to be but we need the police walking a beat. P- Bike Cop will be excellent for old town P- can be crime - filled w/ theft and violence; P- Could use more police presence walking on the street. P- Given how close the police station is, there doesn't seem to be much of a police presence through the main business area. P- Good to see police on bikes!!! Pahoa as a community must avoid profiling, for everyone's safety. There needs to be safe centralized hanging -out space, where it's ok to just meet and talk. P- I always lock my car in Pahoa because I think it is quite risky for theft. P- I do not feel safe in most places. The police are not usually available to service the needs. P- I don't know who to be afraid of - criminals or the police (with corrupt ties to criminals) P- I don't think there is enough police presence. Safety Page 5
